For many years in the mid-2000s during the rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers seemingly always had a slight leg up in the heated rivalry, thanks to the presence of franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on their sideline.
The Ravens, though they won a Super Bowl in that era, couldn’t exactly say the same thing with Joe Flacco on the other side. Having Flacco in the rivalry often put the Ravens at a disadvantage because they didn’t have that Hall of Fame talent at the position.
Now though, the Ravens have the advantage heading into the 2023 matchup under center, thanks to the presence of Lamar Jackson.
