Make no mistake the Baltimore Ravens have no rival bigger than the Pittsburgh Steelers. The New England Patriots are also rivals with the purple and black. What makes the Steelers the Ravens arch enemy; what makes that rivalry different?
The Ravens earned the rivalry of the Patriots. The Ravens have been one of the few teams to have playoff success against Tom Brady and the Patriots. When the Ravens go to Foxboro, the Patriots home advantage (which is statistically amazing) is meaningless. Its a good bet that the Ravens will kick down the doors and push the Patriots to the brink of elimination (at the minimum).
