Ben Roethlisberger is no longer a Pittsburgh Steeler, Baker Mayfield is no longer a Cleveland Brown and quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns is going to be suspended for at least the first six weeks of the regular season.
So the presumed quarterback of the Cleveland Browns is Jacoby Brissett. They also have quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen, but I don't think they are going to see the field in the regular season unless the starter gets injured.
Other Cleveland Browns players names I recognize:
Running Backs: Nick Chubb (Georgia), Kareem Hunt (Toledo), D'Ernest Johnson (South Florida), Johnny Stanton (Nevada-Las Vegas)
Wide Receivers: Amari Cooper (Alabama), Donovan Peoples-Jones (Michigan)
Defensive Linemen: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina), Myles Garrett (Texas A&M), Chase Winovich (Michigan)
Defensive Backs: Grant Delpit (Louisiana State)
Punter: Corey Bojorquez (New Mexico)
The Steelers QB situation is also up in the air as well. Dwayne Haskins died on April 9th (which is the 99th day of the year in non-leap years), Mitchell Trubisky is probably the best quarterback based on name recognition alone, they have Mason Rudolph and they also have Kenny Pickett out of the University of Pittsburgh and Chris Oladokun out of South Dakota State.
So clearly whoever Pittsburgh's quarterback ends up being doesn't have a lot of NFL experience (at least in the long-term future).
Other Pittsburgh Steelers players I recognize:
Running Backs: Najee Harris (Alabama), Derek Watt (Wisconsin)
Wide Receivers: Chase Claypool (Notre Dame), Pat Freiermuth (Penn State), Connor Heyward (Michigan State), Diontae Johnson (Toldeo)
Defensive Linemen: Carlos Davis (Nebraska), Khalil Davis (Nebraska), Cameron Heyward (Ohio State)
Linebackers: Myles Jack (UCLA), T.J. Watt (Wisconsin)
Defensive Backs: Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama)
Kicker: Chris Boswell (Rice)
Punter: Pressley Harvin (Georgia Tech)
Baltimore's quarterbacks are the starter Lamar Jackson, Brett Hundley (UCLA), Anthony Brown (Oregon) and Tyler Huntley (Utah).
Other Baltimore Ravens players I recognize:
Running Backs: J.K. Dobbins (Ohio State)
Wide Receivers: Mark Andrew (Oklahoma)
Defensive Linemen: Calais Campbell (Miami)
Linebackers: Justin Houston (Georgia), Patrick Queen (Louisiana State)
Defensive Backs: Marcus Peters (Washington)
Kicker: Justin Tucker (Texas)
Cincinnati's quarternacks are the starter Joe Burrow, Brandon Allen (Arkansas), Jake Browning (Washington and Drew Plitt (Ball State).
Other Cincinnati Bengals players I recognize:
Running Backs: Joe Mixon (Oklahoma), Samaje Perine (Oklahoma)
Wide Receivers: Tyler Boyd (Pittsburgh), Ja'Marr Chase (Louisiana State), Tee Higgins (Clemson), Stanley Morgan (Nebraska)
Defensive Backs: Eli Apple (Ohio State), Cam Taylor-Britt (Nebraska)
Kicker: Evan McPherson (Florida)
The following is based on a week-by-week analysis of how each AFC North team did against their 2022-2023 regular season National Football League opponents the last time they faced them for each specific situation before the 2022-2023 preseason, regular season and postseason.
The last time for every scenario is only based on previous regular season or postseason games.

Pittsburgh Steelers (Won) (10-7)
So here is a summary of those results:
Last time ever...
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6)
Cleveland Browns (10-7)
Cincinnati Bengals (8-9)
Baltimore Ravens (6-11)
Last time ever at the home team's stadium...
Cincinnati Bengals (12-5)
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)
Baltimore Ravens (8-9)
Cleveland Browns (7-10)
Last time ever in the regular season...
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6)
Cleveland Browns (10-7)
Cincinnati Bengals (8-9)
Baltimore Ravens (6-11)
Last time ever in the regular season at the home team's stadium...
Cincinnati Bengals (11-6)
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)
Baltimore Ravens (8-9)
Cleveland Browns (7-10)
Last time ever (but the last ever game against the same opponent will not be counted twice, the last ever game against the same opponent that is the opposite of the home/road location will be counted the second time). This is designed to reflect a likely more accurate won-lost-tie record at the end of the regular season.
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6)
Cleveland Browns (9-8)
Cincinnati Bengals (8-9)
Baltimore Ravens (7-10)
So if all of these results end up being what they are at the end of the regular season, Pittsburgh or Cincinnati will win the division, Pittsburgh or Cleveland will finish 2nd in the division, Cincinnati or Baltimore will finish 3rd and Baltimore or Cleveland will finish last in the division.
In other words, Pittsburgh will finish in the top two, Baltimore will finish in the bottom two, Cincinnati will finish somewhere between first and third and Cleveland will finish somewhere between second place and fourth place in the AFC North.
