Here's a look at the final AFC North standings for 2023:

1. Ravens: 13-4
2. Browns: 11-6
3. Steelers: 10-7
4. Bengals: 9-8

Over the past 53 years, we've seen several divisions come close to having every team finish over .500, but it's never happened. Just last year, the NFC East had a chance to put every team over .500, but the Commanders lost three of their final four games to finish at 8-8-1.

Although no division has pulled off this feat since the merger, it has been done before. Thanks to Cincinnati's win, the AFC North is now the first division in 88 YEARS to put every team over .500. The last time it happened came all the way back in 1935 in the much-vaunted NFL West.



Here's a look at how that division finished:

1. Lions: 7-3-2
2. Packers: 8-4
3. Bears: 6-4-2
4. Cardinals: 6-4-2

This was so long ago that the Cardinals were playing in Chicago (They played in the Windy City until 1960 when they moved to St. Louis, and after that they eventually moved to Arizona in 1988).

The NFL West finished the season by producing the NFL champion that year when the Lions beat the Giants 26-7 in the title game. The last time a division put all of its teams over .500, the division champion won the the NFL title, which is something that could bode well for the Ravens, who will be going into the playoffs this year as the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
