The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers have a long history of one of the most intense rivalries in the NFL. Dating back to the years of Ray Lewis and James Harrison, Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, and Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger, the teams have entertained fans with some of the most physical battles in league history.
In recent years, the rivalry has died down. The games remain competitive, but the physicality and lust have worn off. Quarterback Lamar Jackson still makes for primetime television, but Pittsburgh’s offense lacks firepower, and both defenses are not what they once were.
