What happened: NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football' posed a question to fans and analysts: which AFC North team stands to benefit most now that Myles Garrett has been traded out of the division. The segment, shared via NFL.com, frames Garrett's departure as a shift in the balance of power among the division's offenses that no longer have to plan around him twice a year.

Why it matters: Garrett has been one of the AFC North's most disruptive defensive forces, and his exit removes a recurring obstacle for division rivals on the offensive line and in pass protection. With Bengals fans already celebrating Garrett's exit from the AFC North, the discussion underscores how a single trade can ripple across an entire division's competitive outlook heading into 2026.

What to watch: Watch for how AFC North contenders adjust their offensive plans in the 2026 offseason now that Garrett is no longer a divisional opponent, and whether the discussion shifts to which team's pass protection improves most.
