Reason 5: The Ravens Have The Steelers Number

The Ravens have the Steelers number. It’s a fact and it makes a bigger impact than you might think. The psychology of this rivalry suggests that the team that has had the upper hand has a huge advantage. The Ravens have won four straight against the Steelers and nine of the last 12 games. While many of these games have been close, the Ravens have rocked the Steelers in recent years.

Remember there was a time when the Ravens struggled against Pittsburgh. They were the hurdle that John Harbaugh and a young Joe Flacco could not get over. The Ravens now are a road block that keeps tripping the Steelers. The tables have turned and nobody in Baltimore is in a hurry for them to flip back the other way.
