Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens will travel to Heinz Field to take on Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in what is bar none, the best rivalry in the game. It gets even more interesting after the Ravens dominated the Steelers in Week 1. This return engagement will be highly charged. Heinz Field has been unkind to Joe Flacco, especially in the postseason. Baltimore will look to attack Pittsburgh’s linebackers over the middle on seam routes with its tight ends just like in Week 1. Roethlisberger had five turnovers in that game.
With Sunday’s win over the Patriots, the Steelers reached the midway point of the season with a 6-2 record for the fifth straight year. The Ravens don’t appear to be the same team they were in their Week 1 blowout win over the Steelers so I think the Steelers beat the Ravens on Sunday, but it’s not the last time these rivals will see each other this season.
Our Prediction: Steelers 27 – Ravens 24
