In 1996, <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns_relocation_controversy" title="Cleveland Browns relocation controversy">in one of the most controversial decisions in American sports history</a>, the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and were rechristened as the <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens" title="Baltimore Ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a>.

The makeup of the AFC Central changed once again in 1999 when the NFL reactivated the Cleveland Browns.

The team went on to win <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLIII" title="Super Bowl XLIII">Super Bowl XLIII</a> that season, their second Super Bowl in four years and an NFL-record sixth overall. </p><p>In 2009, the Cincinnati Bengals swept their annual six-game slate of divisional opponents. Their first three games against the AFC North came in weeks three-through-five when they beat the Steelers, Browns and Ravens, respectively, each by three points. The close finishes deemed the Bengals, "Cardiac Cats". Cincinnati clinched their first division title since '05 in a week 16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, 17–10. In the playoffs, however, the Bengals fell to the New York Jets at home, 24–14. </p><p>Baltimore finished off their season by winning three of their final four games to finish 9-7 and earn the number-six seed in the AFC Playoffs. In the first round of the postseason, Baltimore defeated the New England Patriots in Foxboro, 33–14.

Because of the strike, the league used for its playoffs a special 16-team "Super Bowl Tournament" just for this year. Division standings were not formally acknowledged (although every division wound up sending at least one team to the playoffs); Cincinnati had the best record of the division teams. </p><p>++ Due to the Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills being declared a no-contest (and later cancelled), the Cincinnati Bengals officially played 16 games in the 2022 season.
