Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a few down years where they should have done better, but that is all in the past and with the state of the AFC North, now is the time for the Bengals to make their leap back to the top of the division. 2026 is the year the Bengals get back on track and get back in the playoffs. The Houston Texans have been in the playoffs but have yet to get the that conference championship stage, but this year they have as good of a shot as ever. The defense was already incredible and now the offense has another offseason to improve. The Texans with a better scoring unit have a chance to be the best team in the NFL. The Denver Broncos are hoping to retain the AFC west and they should have a great chance to do so with the talent they have on the roster. The only issue is the beginning of the Broncos' schedule is as difficult a start as any team in the entire NFL.
