AFC NORTH FINAL
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Pittsburgh got off to a hot start and looked like a legit Super Bowl contender, by winning eleven straight games before taking their first L. But some key defensive injuries, along the usual late season antics and lack of running game, caused the Steelers to stumble down the stretch run.
BALTIMORE RAVENS
Baltimore came back this season, prepared to make amends for last year's disappointing end but ran into the same problems from a year ago when it was all said and done.
CLEVELAND BROWNS
The Browns were finally able to get over the hump and earned a spot in the Postseason for the first time in 18 years. First year Head Coach Kevin Stefanski proved to be the right choice and now Cleveland has a foundation in place to build up from moving forward.
