The Steelers and Ravens rivalry is a hot subject for players and fans. The games often make prime time broadcasts. It might be the NFL’s best rivalry.
John Eisenberg recently posted on the Baltimore Ravens website his 5 reasons why the Steelers-Ravens rivalry is still a “blockbuster hit.”
He lists reasons like the coaches, the winning records, and Roethlisberger gets his own section, as does Suggs. Yeah, OK. He makes some points.
I’m going to go further and say that I think the rivalry is much more than entertainment. It is about the fans’ identification of their team and their willingness to debate and defend their opinions.
