The Steelers were destroyed by the Texans, not even close to an AFCN team.  The Jaguars are not an AFCN type team either.  Are the Cardinals an AFCN team?

The Colts beat the Ravens and the Steelers, and the Browns if not for 2 horrendous calls at the end of the game.

The Browns are in salary cap hell (-14M), Watson is not a good QB, the Steelers have no QB, the Ravens are a very solid team but with many key free agents after this season.

We are not very good without Burrow, some wrongly believed Jake was special, he is not.  A healthy Joe makes a huge difference, if we can shore up RT and NT we should be fine next season and battling the Ravens for the top spot again.

We were what 0-4 with Burrow….. The AFCN teams have Zac figured  out. They may not have those other teams figured out, but they’ve been built the last two years to beat the Bengals (not teams in the other divisions) and it’s coming to fruition. 

Bengals have grown more and more finesse. Finesse will beat Bills and KC. Not AFCN teams. They can’t get to the playoffs to beat KC if they can’t get out of the North. They are getting bullied by all the teams in the North. All of them. Even the supposedly bad ones with coaches under fire. Ones on their 4th and 5th QB. That spells trouble in the coming seasons if they don’t reset their focus.
