Ed Reed doesn’t seem mad about it. But he sure hasn’t seemed to forget. Reed played for the Baltimore Ravens during the height of their rivalry against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the two teams trading blows literally and figuratively. Appearing on The Dan Patrick Show Friday afternoon, Reed revisited that rivalry and the great battles he had with WR Hines Ward, though Reed doesn’t remember them as fondly as Steelers’ fans do.
“They had some dirty players over there,” Reed told Patrick of the Steelers. “And that’s how they played the game.”
Reed said the Bengals/Steelers games were the dirtiest games he’s watched since the anything-goes era of the 70s and 80s and the Steelers tactics there bled over into their games against Reed’s Ravens.
