AFC North. Last week: 11. Cincinnati Bengals. 12. player. 56. <p>The Bengals were pretty sloppy against the Buccaneers a few nights ago. A.J. Green caught another case of the dropsies, and it culminated in a tip-drill that led to a pick-six the other way. Yikes.</p> <p>While that interception wasn’t his fault, Andy Dalton tossed two other picks. The next day, Josh Johnson was cut, eliminating A.J. McCarron’s competition for the backup role. Could McCarron be in contention for the starting job? We’ll see, but don’t be surprised if McCarron replaces Dalton if the Bengals lose three, four games in a row this season.</p>
Next: 11. Houston Texans
