in the books Anthony Chickillo Jersey , at least for the AFC North, itr17;s time to take a look back at those teams who call the AFC North home to see how they fared and what the standings look like after this weekr17;s action. The first goal for each team in the NFL is to win its division. Doing so guarantees both a playoff spot and a home playoff game, so even these early-season games are important when it comes to divisional rankings. Letr17;s take a spin around the AFC North to check on the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.Week 8 ResultsCarolina Panthers - 36 Baltimore Ravens - 21Donr17;t let the score fool you. This game wasnr17;t that close. Joe Flacco left a lot to be desired, and Lamar Jackson actually threw a touchdown pass. The Steelers come to M&T Bank Stadium Sunday, and if Pittsburgh walks out of Baltimore with a win, and Flacco is less than impressive, you can expect the cries for Jackson to start getting louder.Cincinnati Bengals - 37Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 34OTIt looked like the Bengals were going to run away with this game, but Ryan Fitzpatrick took over for the benched Jameis Winston Mike Hilton Jersey , and Fitzmagic almost struck again. Sending the game into overtime, Randy Bullock nailed a 44-yard field goal to give the Bengals the win. The Bengals win keeps them right in the thick of things after dropping back-to-back games. Pittsburgh Steelers - 33Cleveland Browns - 18The Steelers let the Browns hang around longer than they probably should have, but it was good to see them pull away in the second half. Just think...if not for the free kick gaffe, and the garbage time touchdown, the defense very well could have held the Browns to 6 points. I know, it is the Browns, but still impressive.Week 9 SchedulePittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens r12; 1 p.m. ET kickoffKansas City Chiefs at Cleveland Browns r12; 1 p.m. ET kickoffCincinnati Bengals r12; BYE WEEKAFC North StandingsPittsburgh Steelers - 4-2-1Cincinnati Bengals - 5-3Baltimore Ravens - 4-4Cleveland Browns - 2-5-1...Let us know what you think about the division after Week 8 in the comment section below.
