Here’s a look at the opponents for the AFC North in 2017.Â
Even though the NFL will not release its official 2017 schedule until sometime in April, fans can still know who most of their team’s opponents are. Just not which order they will face them in. In 2017, the AFC North should be extremely competitive. They will face the AFC South and NFC North. Here’s a look at the AFC North team’s opponents during the 2017 season.
Entering the 2017 as the reigning division champions will be the Pittsburgh Steelers. The black and yellow will face the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and New England Patriots at home. They will face the Ravens, Bengals, Browns, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders on the road.
The Ravens have missed the playoffs in three of their past four seasons following the franchise’s second Super Bowl win in 2012. They will enter 2017 looking to make a return to the postseason. With head coach John Harbaugh’s job potentially on the line and results demanded, Baltimore will face the Browns, Steelers, Bengals, Texans, Colts, Bears, Lions, and Miami Dolphins at home. On the road, they will face the Browns, Steelers, Bengals, Vikings, Packers, Jaguars, Titans and Kansas City Chiefs.
After missing the playoffs in 2016, the Bengals will look to bounce back. They will have the benefit of a relatively easy home schedule, facing the Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Texans, Colts, Bears, Lions, and Buffalo Bills. On the road, Cincinnati will face the Ravens, Browns, Steelers, Jaguars, Titans, Packers, Vikings and Broncos.
