It would not be the best rivalry in the NFL without villains on both teams. Although the teams have shown more respect towards each other in recent seasons, especially since the Bengals have provided them with a common enemy, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers do not like each other. Over the years, fisticuffs on the field and soundbites in he media have intensified the dislike between the players and fanbases.
The Steelers owned the Ravens for much of their history, delivering them multiple morale crushing defeats in the regular season and playoffs.
