For years, the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens has been heralded as one if, if not THE nastiest rivalry in professional football.
With a down year for the Ravens, I think that the hatred has quickly shifted from Baltimore to Cincinnati. Obviously, there’s some history between these two teams going back many years, but let’s take a look just at what’s happened in recent history.
- Reggie Nelson hits Le’Veon Bell low in Pittsburgh late last season, ending his season. Mike Tomlin and Nelson briefly exchange words in a heated conversation following the game.
- First matchup this season, Vontaze Burfict ends Le’Veon Bell’s season on a (clean) hit that awkwardly twists Bell’s knee.
