[edit] 2005 Season

Why does the 2005 season list the Bengals losing the wildcard instead of the Steelers winning the superbowl? I assume this is a mistake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thermopylae300 (talkcontribs).

The table just lists the division champions. The Bengals won the division that year, while the Steelers only clinched a wild card playoff spot. That is why Pittsburgh had to win three road playoff games to reach the Super Bowl. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1982 championships

Because of the strike the NFL did not have the division set up at the end of the season. I don't think or any team in the NFC E/W and old central or AFC E/W and old central should be listed asthe 1982 champions. I think the table should be blank for 1982 with the team with best record listed in the footnote. It should not be writtent to reflect the team as the champion of the division for that season Smith03 22:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year established

I moved AFC North from Category:2002 establishments to Category:1970 establishments to be consistent with NFC North. Both divisions replaced the former Central divisions, and since this article discusses history going back to the 1970s, it makes sense to put it in the 1970 category.
