The Baltimore Ravens have lost four consecutive games to fall to 3-4, the season after they landed with a thump at 5-11. In other words, they have the Steelers right where they want them.
“We are anticipating a rough-and-tumble game,” Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. “One that’s kind of indicative of the history of these two teams.”
The Steelers coach should hope it’s not too indicative because the most recent history of this rivalry has not been good for his team.
Of those five victories the Ravens managed last season, two came against the Steelers, both upsets, both by three points.
