You hate the Pittsburgh Steelers but respect the rivalry

Out of all things terrible, none can compare to the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a Ravens fan, you are born to hate them. From the ugly black and yellow to those putrid terrible towels, if you meet a fan from the opposing city, chances are you are not going to like each other. The hate between these two teams and their cities is a never ending cycle.

With the hate for the Steelers, you still have to respect the rivalry. Many consider this to be one of the best current rivalries in sports. What makes the rivalry great is the consistent competition between the teams. Out of the 46 times that the two teams have met, the Steelers lead the series 25-21. No matter the circumstances or the records, it always seems to be a close game. The game is usually a close defensive battle that ends in a 13-10 or 17-14 score line.

It is a game that is fun to watch on the television, but must be experienced in person if you are a Baltimore Ravens fan.
