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.

The Baltimore Ravens once again handled their business, defeating the Houston Texans in Week 11 handily. Though they were already at the top of the AFC North standings, the week wasn’t nearly as fun for the rest of the division.

It kicked off on Thursday night as the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game marred by an ugly brawl at the end. Impact players from both teams are now suspended. Pittsburgh’s loss was already a huge deal, extending Baltimore’s lead in the AFC North standings. But with starters now missing time due to the fight, it’s going to make the next few weeks even tougher for both the Browns and Steelers, potentially putting them further in the hole.

The Bengals are officially out the running for the playoffs, losing to the Oakland Raiders to fall to 0-10.

Let’s take a look at the AFC North standings after Week 11.

AFC North standings:

The Baltimore Ravens handled their business and beat the still-winless Cincinnati Bengals 49-13. It’s Baltimore’s first sweep of Cincinnati since the 2011 season and it marks another big win within the AFC North standings for the Ravens.

Baltimore will now finish no worse than 3-3 within the division, an important step to winning the AFC North. With a final game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns left on the schedule, the Ravens appear to have an insurmountable lead over the division at this stage.

Behind Baltimore is Pittsburgh, with their Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. While they’re surging themselves, owning a four-game winning streak now, they still sit firmly behind the Ravens.

The Browns picked up a big win of their own, defeating the Buffalo Bills in the final minutes of the game to get their third win of the season. Though they remain well behind the Ravens within the division standings, there’s still plenty of season left to completely count them out.

The Bengals, on the other hand, are done. Having moved to 0-9, they’re now guaranteed to have a losing season. Though the AFC North isn’t exactly the toughest division in the league this year, it seems almost certain that a winning record is going to be needed to sit at the top of it. And with the playoffs firmly out of reach, Cincinnati has clearly moved into figuring out what talent they have on their roster and perhaps if rookie coach Zac Taylor will return in 2020.
