It goes without saying that the Pittsburgh Steelers as one of the NFL’s flagship franchise are among the league’s big-ticket items. They are among the most successful of the game’s commercial period, and have among the largest, most active, and most wide-reaching fanbases in the game. It’s the reason that they almost always area slotted with the maximum five primetime games every year. Last season, they even played in six after one late-season game was flexed into primetime.
So it’s not a surprise that the Steelers checked in twice on an NFL.com list of the top 10 rivalries in the league right now, with their intradivisional bouts with the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns both making the list.
