The 2022 NFL season is just around the corner and the Cleveland Browns will be elevating their preparations through training camp.
It’s where the players give it their all in hopes of making it to the final 53-man roster.
Once the roster has been settled, the Browns will be in for a tough battle because they are playing in one of the top divisions in the league.
Their six games against AFC North teams could turn out to be intense matchups because each squad has their strengths.
The Cincinnati Bengals have a high-powered offense with Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
Meanwhile, defense is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ strong suit with reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Cameron Heyward, and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Finally, the Baltimore Ravens can hurt teams in different ways, especially when Lamar Jackson is behind center.
Therefore, the Browns will be in for a tough grind but they have what it takes to compete.
Their running game remains solid with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
The Browns also have a promising receiving unit with Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and tight end David Njoku.
Their defense can also shut down opponents, thanks to Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney, and Denzel Ward.
But even then, Bleacher Report has predicted a winner for the AFC North in 2022.
the #browns have never won the AFC North. they have finished 3rd for the last four seasons with only one season being above .500.
the bar is still very much the floor. i’m sure jacoby brisett is also capable of a 3rd place finish with the pieces around him.

B/R Doesn’t See The Browns Winning The Division
The article shows that the Bengals are predicted to win the division with three votes.
Not far behind are the Ravens with two.
Still, it’s not the end of the road for the Browns because that’s why games are played.
They could beat this prediction and end up being the kings of the AFC North.
If they don’t they can still make the playoffs as a Wild Card and show that they are a dangerous opponent.
