In Pittsburgh, it’s called Ravens Week. In Baltimore, it’s called Steelers Week. They both mean the same thing: strap up.
No, we might not see another Ryan-Clark-on-Willis-McGahee hit—if we did it would result in a huge fine today—but the rivalry games between the Steelers and Ravens remain among the most highly competitive in the league year after year.
The fact that Pittsburgh’s four-game winning streak in the series merely makes the series regular season record between Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh 15-13 says a lot. Tomlin took over the Steelers in 2007, Harbaugh the Ravens in 2008.
