The Cincinnati Bengals are right back in the AFC North hunt after the Week 12 results.
Cincinnati took care of business against the Tennessee Titans on the road. Moments after, the Baltimore Ravens gifted the Bengals an early present by dropping a game to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The current AFC North standings:
- Ravens (7-4)
- Bengals (7-4)
- Browns (4-7)
- Steelers (3-7)
For now, the Ravens remain slightly ahead in the division because they won a Week 5 encounter with the Bengals. But on Sunday, they dropped a one-point loss to 4-7 Jacksonville.
The Bengals, winners in five of their last six, host the Ravens to close the season in Week 18. While an outright lead in the division would be nice, this is an incredible position for the team to sit after starting the year 0-3 in the AFC North before getting hot just as they did last season.
