Writer Matt Fitzgerald argues that a potential Tennessee Titans upset over the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 could significantly improve the Cincinnati Bengals' AFC North outlook. The Bengals, who face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, could potentially move atop their division if results fall in their favor.

Fitzgerald points out that Tennessee's defensive front, featuring Jeffery Simmons and John Franklin-Myers, matches up well against a Cleveland offensive line that has surrendered 24 sacks.
