The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens rivalry is arguably the best in the NFL right now. Year in and year out we see these teams fighting for the division lead and playoff spots. This is a match up where we might see more 15-yard penalties than touchdowns. Last year in Baltimore Haloti Ngata broke Ben Roethlisberger’s nose during a pass attempt. These teams do not play nice.
This year’s second meeting of these teams is going to be a good one. Baltimore embarrassed Pittsburgh in the season opener 35-7. Pittsburgh played sloppy in this game and Baltimore took advantage of it scoring early and often. Pittsburgh’s 7 turnovers set them up to an NFL’s worst -10 turnover ratio. They also sacked Ben four times who had 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles in the loss. Since then the Steeler’s have gone 6-1 and look to avenge this lost after a huge win against New England last week. Pittsburgh Finally fixed there “Patriot-problem.” Pittsburgh was 1-6 against New England before this game. Pittsburgh’s offense scored early and often to jump to a 10-point lead and never looked back. The Steelers fought off a late New England serge to take the top spot in the AFC.Baltimore who started strong this season fell to Tennessee and Jacksonville; the Ravens did not play well on either side of the ball in the Monday Night game two weeks ago. They came back after being down 24-3 to the 2-6 Arizona Cardinals last week. The Steelers look to win its fifth straight game against Baltimore. Ben is 7-1 all time against the Ravens at Heinz Field and they have won six of the last nine meetings including playoffs
The top spot in the AFC and the lead of the AFC North are up for grabs on Sunday Night Football on NBC.
