The rivalry between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers was at a crossroads this offseason. After a disappointing 2025 campaign, the Ravens fired their longtime head coach, John Harbaugh. Then, after going one-and-done in the playoffs again, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin decided to step away from coaching.
Harbaugh and Tomlin were the two-longest head coaches in the NFL. Tomlin spent 19 years with the Steelers and Harbaugh spent 18 years with the Ravens. The two had one of the most storied rivalries in recent football history, and now, both franchises will restart with a new face in charge.
