When it comes to the rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, there’s been a few constants over the years, including Hall of Famers Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Jerome Bettis, Troy Polamalu, and future Hall of Famers James Harrison, Terrell Suggs and Ben Roethlisberger.
One man who’s had an up-close-and-personal look at some of the greats over the years is Ravens’ defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale, who has been around since the 2012 season, serving as the linebackers coach in Baltimore from 2012 to 2017 before then becoming the organization’s defensive coordinator in 2018.
Martindale knows all too well how talented and difficult to defend Roethlisberger has been throughout his career, and just days before the final matchup between the two, Martindale had some nice words to say about the 18-year veteran quarterback in the Steel City.
