The AFC North has been looking like a four-team race in recent weeks, but Week 11 likely knocked one team out the race. The Cincinnati Bengals lost quarterback Joe Burrow to a season-ending injury and will be scrambling to find a quarterback that can provide them with a spark.
Burrow and the Bengals traveled to face the Baltimore Ravens and things went south in the second quarter. Burrow left the game with a wrist injury that was later described as a torn ligament. The Ravens won 34-20 and the Bengals’ division title chances likely went out the window. Jake Browning is their current starter but look for the team to figure out some other options.
On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers and got a critical win in spite of Deshaun Watson being sidelined. Dorian Thompson-Robinson made some critical plays late to set up a game-winning field goal as the Browns won 13-10.
