Ravens Vs. Steelers. It is the rivalry of all rivalries.

The Baltimore Ravens rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers is the most emotional and tense rivalry in all of sports. It’s like a nerve that constantly gets pinched. It’s a feeling deep down in the gut. Ravens and Steelers fans can get along, but it will never happen on an NFL Sunday. It’s must watch television. Mondays after a Ravens loss are brutal.

The purple and black  always get up for games against the Steelers. So does the flock.

There are five reasons the Ravens and the Steelers rivalry is the best rivalry in all of professional sports.
