Yep, the AFC is still very much wide open. 11 teams currently have a winning record and with the Colts being 4-5, 12 teams are in legitimate playoff contention. Add in that 8 of the 12 have had back to back losses at one point, and 6 have had a blow out loss, including each of the top 3 teams currently...it's been a wild ride so far in the AFC.
I get that some are really down because the Bengals got blown out and have lost 2 straight, but if they look at the big picture...it's not like they're alone among winning teams that have done that in the AFC this year.
Like you said, the conference as a whole has been inconsistent. That's why I still feel pretty good about there chances over these last 8 games, even though some have already written them off.
