AFC North

Baltimore Ravens: Week 4, vs. Cleveland Browns

It’s hard to have many regrettable losses when you top the entire AFC, but Baltimore would love to have this one back. The Browns walked into Baltimore and handled the Ravens pretty convincingly in Week 4, and a win there would mean the Ravens could lock up home field even sooner.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 11, at Cleveland Browns

The Steelers have done a good job getting into the playoff race despite missing a litany of offensive stars, but their biggest missed opportunity came in a 21-7 loss to the Browns in Week 11. This contest is better known as the Myles Garrett game, but the Steelers were completely outmatched in this one.

Mason Rudolph threw four picks for the Steelers, setting the stage for his demotion the following week. A win here would have allowed Pittsburgh to keep the pressure on Baltimore for the division title, but now they are simply playing for a wild card spot.
