Coming out of the Week 15 of the NFL season, there's a new team standing atop the AFC North standings.
That team is the Cincinnati Bengals, who improved to 10-4 on the year with a road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Joe Burrow and company were down 17-0 at one point before surging in the second half for the win. They were elevated to first place as a result of the Baltimore Ravens falling to the Cleveland Browns in a 13-3 loss on Sunday.
The Ravens fell to second in the North while the Browns kept their playoff hopes alive. Also keeping their slim playoff hopes alive were the Pittsburgh Steelers, who toppled the Carolina Panthers on the road on Sunday. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are two games back of the Chargers and Dolphins in the wild card race.
