Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2019 divisional power rankings, where we'll be ranking the NFL's divisions from best to worst.
For the past three years, the NFL season has ended with the Patriots playing in the Super Bowl, which means the AFC East is obviously the best division in football, right?
Wrong.
Remember, we're ranking divisions here, not teams, which means that not even Tom Brady's six Super Bowl rings are going to be able to save the AFC East in these rankings. As a matter of fact, the AFC East was hands down the worst division in the NFL last year. In non-divisional games, the AFC East went 16-24 against the other divisions, which was two games worse than any other division.
What I'm trying to say here is that the AFC East is ranked last.
So where does everyone else rank?
Let's get to the divisional power rankings and find out.
....
4. AFC North
After two straight years of being ranked near the bottom here, the AFC North is finally moving into the top half of our rankings and that's because two things have happened this offseason that no one thought was ever going to happen: The Browns actually got better and the Bengals actually moved on from Marvin Lewis, which was arguably as big a shock to Bengals fans as Andrew Luck's retirement was to Colts fans (OK, that's a slight exaggeration, but trust me, Bengals fans were shocked).

The truth is, we all thought that.
The hiring of Zac Taylor means that the Bengals will have an offensive-minded coach running the show for the first time in Andy Dalton's career. Now, does that mean the Bengals are going to win the division? Probably not, but if they're the worst team in the AFC North, you could make the argument that they're the best "worst" team in any division, which shows you how strong the North is from top-to-bottom.
Although every team in this division has at least one big question -- Can Taylor actually coach? Will the Browns implode under all the pressure? Can Lamar Jackson be successful for a full season? Can the Steelers offense function without Antonio Brown? -- those questions likely won't derail anyone's season. If there's one division in the AFC that feels like it could send three teams to the playoffs, it's definitely the AFC North.
