About Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers and the Ravens first met on September 8, 1996, and this is when one of the fiercest rivalries in the NFL began. It is described as one of the most intense and emotional rivalries in all of sports, and for a good reason. Both teams are known for hard-hitting defensive lineups, making the game of football extra physically intensive. Until 2016, these AFC North rivals had played 46 games between them, out of which 27 were decided by a single point, and 19 games by three points or less. They have faced each other in the playoffs on four occasions, out of which on two occasions, the winner reached the Super Bowl.
More than historic, bitter and fierce, the Ravens and the Steelers have the most meaningful rivalry in all of sports, which unsurprisingly has produced many memorable moments.
A Few Memorable Moments from this Rivalry
Steelers vs Super Bowl Champions- It was January 20, 2002, and the Steelers were hosting the reigning Super Bowl champions, Ravens, in a playoff game. Ravens, being the defending champions, had indulged in some trash talk throughout the regular season and therefore when they traveled to Pittsburgh, the air in Heinz Field was tense. However, it was the Steelers fans who had the last laugh as their team won the game 27-10. A season full of trash talk from the Ravens made this playoff victory extra sweet for the Steelers.
Bittersweet- On November 7, 2011, Torrey Smith, Ravens rookie wide receiver, caught the 26-yard TD with eight seconds on the clock, giving his team 23-20 victory over the Steelers. It was not just another victory for the Ravens, but it set them on a path to the first AFC North championship under Head Coach John Harbaugh. However, this was also the last time Ray Lewis played in this rivalry.
