The twelfth week of NFL football is behind us, and it was quite the week in the AFC North division. With that said, it is time to see how the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns all did in the week that was.
Time to take a look...
Cleveland Browns - 41
Miami Dolphins - 24
Have the Browns caught fire after their Week 11 win over the Steelers? The Dolphins are hardly a legitimate litmus test, but the Browns are certainly finding a groove heading into a huge Week 13 game at Heinz Field. If Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are able to keep up their productivity, it could be tough on defenses moving forward.
Pittsburgh Steelers - 16
Cincinnati Bengals - 10
It wasn’t pretty, but it certainly was interesting. Mason Rudolph pulled after the first drive of the second quarter, and Devlin Hodges taking over and leading the team to a win. The Bengals are bad, and the Steelers’ offense is equally as inept. Can ‘Duck’ make a difference? Only time will tell, but a huge test awaits when the Browns come to town next Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens - 45
Los Angeles Rams - 6
What else is there to say other than the Ravens look like the best team in the NFL right now. Lamar Jackson seemingly does it all, and does it well, but the only question I have is have the Ravens peaked too early? To me, this is more than happenstance. We have seen NFL teams go cold when the postseason arrives, and that might be the only concerning thing for the Ravens fan base moving forward.
