AFC North Week 14 preview: Ravens can stand alone after this week

The Baltimore Ravens can clinch the AFC North in Week 14 if they once again take care of their own business and get a little help.

With the Browns not able to win the division, all their hopes rely on a wild card berth. But at 5-7, Cleveland will not only need to win all four remaining games but get some help to qualify. That makes every week a must-win game for the Browns, starting with this AFC North matchup in Week 14.

The Bengals are simply trying to win some games at this point to hopefully keep pink slips from sliding across desks in the offseason. But they have a little added incentive as a spoiler for Cleveland this week. Cincinnati can get a little revenge, pick up a massive win over a division opponent and hopefully improve their prognosis for the future.

A Bengals win would actually help Baltimore in two fronts. It would effectively keep the Browns out of the postseason while potentially messing up Cincinnati getting the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
