Fact that makes me smile - (AFC North Division Championships)

[DBR96A]

Since 1980, the Steelers have won the AFC Central/AFC North as many times as the Browns, Bengals and Ravens combined. Here's the list:

Baltimore: 2003, 2006, 2011 (three times)

Cincinnati: 1981, 1982, 1988, 1990, 2005, 2009 (six times)

Cleveland: 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989 (four times)

Pittsburgh: 1983, 1984, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 (13 times)


Non-AFC North teams won the AFC Central six times: Houston/Tennessee in 1980, 1991, 1993 and 2000; and Jacksonville in 1998 and 1999.

Now that is a nice stat indeed, really makes you appreciate the stability of the Steelers organization and the disfunctionality of the rest of the teams.

If I didn't hate the Browns so much I might almost feel bad for them....

Cleveland: 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989 (four times)
