1. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers had one of the most fun seasons in a very long time, capping it off with one of the best wins of the entire regular season. The Steelers won the division in dramatic fashion. They got a lot of help from their offseason acquisitions, and maybe the biggest pickup for them was Kenneth Gainwell. The Steelers flipped the script and won the division for the first time since 2020 and are hosting a playoff game against the Texans.
Final Thoughts
The AFC North wrapped up with plenty of surprises, capped by Pittsburgh’s return to the top of the division. While the Steelers capitalized on consistency and timely additions, the Ravens and Bengals were undone by inconsistency and setbacks, and the Browns once again faced major offensive questions. With changes coming across the division, the gap could close quickly in 2026, but for now, the Steelers set the standard heading into the playoffs.
