AFC North standings: Another team out after Week 13

The Baltimore Ravens continue their dominance over the AFC North standings as the Cleveland Browns lose and drop out of contention.

With their Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Baltimore Ravens have continued their winning streak to eight-straight games. This late in the season, Baltimore’s win streak is actually more total wins than any team in the AFC North have. Which speaks volumes towards the AFC North standings after Week 13.

The Ravens sit at the top of the division and with their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, the Cleveland Browns have officially been eliminated from contention in the AFC North. With just four weeks remaining, the Browns can only reach a 9-7 record while Baltimore already has 10 wins.

The Steelers have won six of their last seven games after starting off the season 1-4. In spite of being onto their third quarterback of the season, Pittsburgh’s defense has kept them in almost every game this season. While there’s still question on how effective they can be against the top teams in the league given their relatively easy schedule in recent weeks.

And finally, the Cincinnati Bengals picked up their very first win of the season. So at the very least, they’ve made sure they won’t go down in history as one of the few 0-16 teams. But with so few games remaining, they still hold a one-game lead for the worst record in the NFL and the first-overall pick in the 2020 draft.

Take a look at the AFC North standings after Week 13.

AFC North standings:

Team Record Division Record Conference Record
Baltimore Ravens 10-2 3-1 6-2
Pittsburgh Steelers 7-5 3-2 6-3
Cleveland Browns 5-7 2-1 5-4
Cincinnati Bengals 1-11 0-4 1-7

If Baltimore wins and Pittsburgh loses in Week 14, the Ravens will clinch the AFC North.
