Former New England Patriots' offensive lineman Damien Woody says the Buffalo Bills won't win their division this season.
But the AFC also has some bad teams — like, truly awful. The NFL’s four worst teams in point differential, and seven of the bottom eight, reside in the AFC — teams that look like they have given up, or can’t gain a simple first down, or are blaming their woes on injuries.
The Steelers were the only team in the top four in the AFC to lose in Week 7 but with Buffalo on the bye they stick at No. 4.
There is still a multi-game gap between Pittsburgh and the rest of the teams, but Cincinnati gave itself a newfound shot by beating the division leaders 33-31 on Thursday night. the Bengals are currently second in the North, two games back of Pittsburgh in the loss column.
Cleveland's 31-6 trouncing of the Fins improves the former's record to 2-5. The Ravens, the only AFC North team who sat idle this week is now in the divisional cellar with a mark of 1-5. Before you throw your arms up in disgust though, be encouraged. Hopefully, this setback is only temporary.
