AFC North standings entering Week 3

Baltimore (2-0) is in sole possession of first place in the AFC North and one of only two undefeated teams in the conference after a 27-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens controlled last week’s contest from start to finish, gaining some confidence and an early division lead over the reigning AFC North champions and the team that bounced John Harbaugh’s squad from last year’s playoffs.
