Steel Grip on AFC North

One thing teams in the AFC North, and previously in the AFC Central, could always count on was the bungling ways of the Cincinnati Bengals. But the times are changing, and while the AFC North could very well be the worst division in the NFL in 2003, for the most part, all teams appear to be heading in the right direction.

The Bengals made the most drastic moves in the off-season, starting with the addition of new head coach Marvin Lewis, and the Baltimore Ravens, who appear to have picked up a wealth of talent in the draft, are coming off a surprising seven-win season. But even if the Cleveland Browns, who slipped into the playoffs with a late-season run last year, settle their quarterback controversy, in my mind, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still the best team in the division.
