Ravens Take Pleasure In Sweeping Rival Steelers
Players and coaches admitted it felt 'sweet' to potentially ruin the Steelers playoff hopes.
When cornerback Jimmy Smith flipped on the television Sunday morning, all he saw were pundits predicting a Ravens loss.
Sunday’s game was predicted to not be just any loss, but another blowout loss. NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin apparently said Baltimore wasn't going to come within 15 points of Pittsburgh.
The Steelers were averaging 35 points per game over their last six contests. They were playing with a chance to clinch a playoff berth. The Ravens were 4-10 and playing with their fourth starting quarterback this season, not to mention the patchwork offense around him.
