CINCINNATI -- Backed by a five-game winning streak, the Pittsburgh Steelers say confidently they are a better team than the one that got outmuscled by the Ravens in Week 10 in Baltimore.
On Sunday in Heinz Field against the Ravens, the Steelers can validate those words. But this game, which likely will decide the AFC North, runs deeper than playoff positioning. The Steelers (9-5) still are salty about how they lined up against the Ravens' defensive front in that Week 10 game and kept trying to run the ball, but couldn't. The Ravens (8-6) held RB Le'Veon Bell to 2.
