Formerly known as the World Champions,

Formerly known as the World Champions, the Steelers are now just a symbol?of disappointment. After losing to Denver in week 8, their hopes for making the playoffs are gone. Perhaps it just wasn?t their year or perhaps the source of Ben Roethlisberger?s talent was in his now removed appendix. Whatever the reason, nothing – not even Bill Cowher?s jaw – is enough to scare these players back into winning. They will spend January watching the playoffs from the couch, next to another team in their division, the Cleveland Browns.

On the upside of this division, the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals claim the top two spots. Pending an outbreak of bird flu, the Ravens should clinch this division as they are sitting strong at 6-2. The Bengals, having a year laden with mediocrity, could easily miss the playoffs. The fact that there is turmoil in the locker room, as Chad Johnson (Terrell Owens, Jr.) stirs the pot, isn?t helping.

AFC South

In the southern part of the AFC, it?s no surprise that the greatest team belongs to Indianapolis. As the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL, Indianapolis has a chance to go unbeaten.
