AFC North
The AFC North was supposed to be the best vision in football last year and it ended up with exactly one playoff team and the worst team in football by record. It did not live up to the hype.
This year could be the year it does though. The Ravens will be back and looking for revenge after their first game ouster in the playoffs. Imagine another year of this team together. They went 14-2 and looked unstoppable toward the end of the regular season. Lamar Jackson will have another year to get better and will work on his weaknesses. The Ravens defense will be good because it’s always good.
The Steelers defense was one of the best in the league and now they will hopefully get back to having an explosive offense now that Ben Roethlisberger will be back and fully healthy — with an amazing beard.
The Browns have to be better than their disappointing 2019. Kevin Stefanski looks like he’s setting up for more two tight-end sets which could allow for some interesting mismatches for the Browns. They have all the tools they need on offense to be successful.
The Bengals are the only weak spot in the AFC North. Joe Burrow tore up competition in the SEC, but he will need time to adjust to the NFL. It helps that the Bengals are investing a bit in their offensive line.
