YOUR FIRST PLACE CINCINNATI BENGALS!!!

[Trademark]

What a roller coaster of a season. Bengals are back in first place in the AFC North! WHO DEY!!!!! Please beat the Browns, Raiders!

[*Nately120*]

Rooting for the Raiders? Seems like a safe move.

If the Browns win won't we still be in first place due to a better division record?

Yes.

Head to Head is the first tiebreaker.

Maybe you havent checked the calendar but there are 5 more games still. Not only that, but the ravens are only behind the bengals via the head to head..... with the second matchup looming

Interesting...I guess I assumed head to head went before division record.

I'm just going based on what people in the GD thread said after i asked the same question lol. I think it's different when there's a 3 way tie (?).

[reuben.ahmed]

According to tiebreaking rules with 3 teams, I think it still takes head to head (?) first:

https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

Division record is first to break a wild card tiebreaker.

Regardless, we need CLE to lose but I doubt they will due to the delay they have to get everyone healthy.

First place and Zac is one win away from securing his first winning season as a head coach.

Ah! I missed that it is three way. I still think the Browns have it? I'd have to check the games played. 

[WVUHomer]

Don't the Ravens have the H2H against Cleveland? How does that work in a 3 way tie when all 3 have some sort of H2H against the other?

If the Browns win tonight they would be 8-6 also with the head to head win.

[Mickeypoo]

So we would be in 2nd if the Browns win?

[Frank Booth]

For now

Our offense is pretty bad currently. Defense bailed us out today

Can’t face the Broncos every week

I don't know the tiebreaker by heart, but at least I know it isn't Monday!

No we'll be in 1st. It'd be a 3 way tie and we hold the tiebreakers

Can’t really do that with more than two teams.
