At the height of their rivalry, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens could be defined by two players. QB Ben Roethlisberger and OLB Terrell Suggs. Sure, other players were just as important. WR Hines Ward and LB Ray Lewis. Safeties Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, two of the best ever at what they did. But it was Roethlisberger and Suggs always squaring off with each other. Now that both are retired, they can appreciate the rivalry they shared.
Suggs will be inducted into the Ravens’ Ring of Honor this weekend when Baltimore hosts the Detroit Lions. In the lead-up to the event, the Ravens’ team site spoke to Roethlisberger about Suggs, the Ravens, and their classic battles.
