This year the AFC North did have a pretty easy schedule. Both the Browns and Steelers lost some games they could have won. But here's next year's opponents. Definitely not easy!
1. Pittsburgh Steelers
Home: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants
Away: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
2. Cleveland Browns
Home: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants
Away: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
By the way from a non biased fan of last night's game the hold on the 2 point conversion was ridiculous, but the one catch that hit the ground slightly was a worse call I think. That was definitely a catch, but after review they said it was not. That being said I saw tons of holding by both the Steelers and Jacksonville the whole game that was not being called. Some pretty blatant stuff at that. Also some of those scuffles between the Jags and Ward could have been flagged. So you can say that was poor officiating as well, or that they were just letting them play. On the 2 point conversion the Jags player was yanked to the ground, but I think it was just a good block and not a hold. The ref probably just saw them falling to the ground and called a hold.
