Anytime the Pittsburgh Steelers are struggling is a great time for the Ravens, but it’s more important than ever before to capitalize on this situation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were grabbing all sorts of headlines this off-season, and none of them were positive. Between Le’Veon Bell’s continued holdout for a new contract and Ben Roethlisberger speaking out against the drafting of quarterback Mason Rudolph, things were looking gloomy in the Steel City.

But now the wheels may have fallen off the wagon completely.

As if a 0-1-1 record wasn’t bad enough to start the year, now the Steelers have a conflicting locker room full of drama. The Steelers offensive line called out Bell on his holdout and news broke out that Antonio Brown did not report to the Steelers facility on Monday after a not-so-cryptic tweet about wanting to be traded to prove his worth somewhere else…

So to recap, the Steelers best skill position players are not with team currently, meanwhile Roethlisberger is dealing with a persistent elbow injury (although he played through it on Sunday). The good news is the Steelers defense ranks 25th in the league in total yards allowed per game! Wait, that’s not good news…

But now we sit and have to ask ourselves what can the Baltimore Ravens do to capitalize on this situation in Pittsburgh?
