AFC North 2026-27 Preview: Simulations Split Baltimore and Cincinnati, with Pittsburgh Still in the Mix

The AFC North spent two decades looking like the NFL’s most stable coaching map. That ended in one offseason. John Harbaugh left Baltimore. Mike Tomlin left Pittsburgh. Myles Garrett went to Los Angeles. Zac Taylor is the only head coach in the division who was there last year. On the field in 2025, Pittsburgh went 10-7 and won the division at 4-2. Baltimore went 8-9. Cincinnati went 6-11. Cleveland went 5-12 and scored 16.4 points per game, the worst offensive number in the division by a wide margin. ESPN’s AFC North roundtable calls 2026-27 a transition year and frames the title race as a grind between Baltimore, Cincinnati, and the Steelers team that actually won it last year.
