A football analyst believes the Cleveland Browns have a realistic chance to win the AFC North in the upcoming 2026 season. Trevor Sikkema highlighted recent roster improvements and coaching changes across the division as key factors, building on earlier predictions from former players.

Sikkema made the comments Wednesday on the Inside Coverage podcast. He pointed to an evenly matched division after the departures of John Harbaugh from the Baltimore Ravens and Mike Tomlin from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The analyst noted the Browns' elite defense and added offensive talent as strengths that could help them rise to the top if a quarterback steps up this year.
