Huntley, 28, got his career back on track in his third stint with the Ravens. Last season, he was 2-0 filling in for Jackson, leading Baltimore to wins over two playoff teams in the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
If the NFC South got the ending it deserved, then so too did the AFC North. The division's season finale couldn't quite match the pathetic reality of two 8-9 teams sitting at home rooting for two other losing teams to send them to playoffs, but it perfectly captured that which defined this division throughout the season: the perception of prestige undermined by the cold hard reality of badly played football.
