The Ravens are 1-0 in the division, and the rest of their divisional games are scheduled for Week 11 or later, when they should be healthier. The win totals for the Ravens and Steelers are both set at 9.5 on BetMGM, with the under being favored for both (-150 for the Ravens, -130 for the Steelers).

USA TODAY's Chris Bumbaca breaks down the Joe Flacco trade as the veteran QB hits his 3 AFC North team in his career.

Mike Tomlin claimed at his Tuesday press conference that he doesn't care that the rest of the AFC North lost on the Steelers bye week.

Subsequently, this division is sprinting towards an incredibly meaningful offseason. The 2026 NFL Draft could hold the keys to each team's long-term success, and as the season takes shape, it's not too early to take a look forward at who these teams can target.

Despite a third straight loss and another bad game from Jake Browning, the Bengals remain second in a weakened AFC North and could be a quarterback upgrade from staying alive until Joe Burrow returns.

But for the Ravens, winning the AFC North remains a realistic possibility. In fact, the Ravens are still the betting the favorites to win the division, with odds of +100 at DraftKings. The Steelers are right behind at +110. The Browns and Bengals are long shots, both at +1800.

Flacco, 40, continues his tour through the AFC North after spending a decade of his career with the Baltimore Ravens. After spending two separate stints with the Browns, one that included a playoff start, the team is sending him to the Bengals, who are in need of some quarterback help.

Joe Flacco’s trade from the Browns to the Bengals adds another twist to a chaotic AFC North — and proves that nothing in this division ever really ends.

Cincinnati Bengals' Zac Taylor suggested his team will have "plenty of opportunity" to catch the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North race.

CINCINNATI, O.H.— Cleveland Browns veteran quarterback Joe Flacco — who spent the 2020-2022 seasons with the New York Jets — is reportedly being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
