It doesn’t matter how strong — or how poorly — either team has performed coming into the matchup, when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, the game usually winds up competitive.
The two teams will square off for the first of two division games in Week 5. Pittsburgh will come into the matchup looking for something to prove. After a tremendous preseason, the team’s offense has stumbled out of the gate. Thankfully, the Steelers have an elite defense that can take over games.
The Ravens are on the opposite trajectory. The team struggled to find its offensive identity early, but looked strong in a Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns.
In this highly anticipated AFC North grudge match, both teams will be looking to establish dominance within their division. The Ravens will rely on their dynamic quarterback Lamar Jackson, who possesses both the ability to pass and run the ball effectively. The Steelers, on the other hand, will rely on their feisty defense to shut down Jackson and limit his impact on the game.
