AFC North standings entering Week 4 after Ravens beat the Cowboys

The Ravens secured a crucial 34-31 victory over Dallas, propelling them to a 2-1 record in the AFC North. This win was of paramount importance to Baltimore, not only in their overall standings but also in their quest to maintain their position in the AFC North race. As of Week 4, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati share the same record of 2-1 against the Ravens, leaving all four teams tied after three games.

According to the NFL's current standings, the Steelers lead the division, followed by the Ravens, with the Browns and Bengals trailing behind. The Ravens gained an early advantage in the division by defeating Cincinnati in Week 3. However, Baltimore and Cleveland have yet to face each other within the division, so the recent win by the Ravens kept them on an even keel without settling the divisional standings.

Now, the Ravens return to the field to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, October 4th. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh will travel to Cleveland on Thursday night, ensuring that at least one division rival will suffer another loss before Baltimore takes to the field. Cincinnati will face Jacksonville on Sunday. Despite the challenges ahead, the Ravens have all six of their AFC North games still to play, providing ample opportunity for them to close the gap and solidify their position in the division.

Currently, the Ravens are back in contention for a stronger showing in the AFC North, having escaped Dallas with a hard-fought win. This report was originally published on Ravens Wire: AFC North standings entering Week 4 after Ravens beat the Cowboys.
