The Ravens-Steelers rivalry was pretty one-sided during the early years. The Ravens didn't win a single game against the Steelers during the 1997-1998 seasons and were already down one game in the 1999 series. The Ravens had not won a single game in Pittsburgh before the 1999 season.
That all changed one December afternoon in Pittsburgh in what might be one of the oddest games in Ravens-Steelers history.
The game started with each of the two teams scoring touchdowns on their opening possessions. Jerome Bettis threw a 21 yard pass to Hines Ward and the Ravens retaliated with a 64 yard run from Priest Holmes.
