Don’t get me wrong. The rivalry between the Steelers and the Ravens was still very much alive in 2015. With Ben Roethlisberger injured for one of the matchups, the Ravens having a subpar year, and Cincinnati becoming enemy number one on Pittsburgh’s radar, the intense rivalry simply took backseat last year.
The Steelers and Ravens have always played close, thrilling games. No matter how each team was performing, the games came down to the last moments, and was the rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes football so exciting. Despite the Ravens going 5-11 last season, they managed to sweep Pittsburgh.
