The Baltimore Ravens can clinch the AFC North Division today by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. A win today would also clinch the 2nd season sweep of the Steelers in the past 2 years. This is a great opportunity for the Baltimore Ravens to help put the Pittsburgh Steelers out of their misery.
Big Ben will not be playing today for the Steelers and the Ravens will be playing at home where they haven’t loss in 2 seasons. I expect the Ravens to win this game and become the AFC North Champions today.
Go Ravens!!!
The Baltimore Ravens totally dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 1 of the 2011 NFL season. I doubt it will happen same way tonight, but if did it wouldn that be sweet!!! It you need a reminder of how good the Ravens played in week one, well view the clip below:
It wasn’t even close. The Baltimore Ravens completely dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers today. It it wasn’t for a 3 man rush play call on defense in the first half, the Steelers probably would not have even scored at all. Excuse my language, but this ass whipping was long overdue. Revenge is the sweetest thing next to getting …. Tupac said it best:)
Joe Flacco looked absolutely great today. Ed Reed had 2 interceptions. T. Sizzle aka Terrell Suggs pretty much owned Ben Roethlisburger all day. Ray Lewis is still forcing fumbles and getting picks. Ray Rice rushed for over 100 yards. Who says you can’t run on Pittsburgh? The whole offense and defense played well. Game over. Looks like the Titans got next.
Here’s a brief clip of Suggs putting Big Ben on his back during the game.
The Baltimore Ravens got off to another incredible start against the Pittsburgh Steelers today. The Ravens scored on just their 2nd play of the game on a TD pass from Joe Flacco to Anquan Boldin. Ray Rice has been a beast in the first half and had over 100 yards from scrimmage and 2 TDs.
The Baltimore defense has played okay so far as well. Terrell Suggs caused Ben Roethlisberger to fumble and has been causing havoc for the Steelers offense all day. Before we get too excited though, we were leading 21 to 7 in the playoff game too before disaster struck. Hope lightning doesn’t stike in the 2nd half.
Go Ravens!!!
The Baltimore Ravens ended their season yesterday with a 2nd half collapse against the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. The Ravens blew a 14 point lead going into the second half only to get knocked out of the playoffs for the third straight year. The Ravens have had 4th quarter let downs throughout the season but this is the first time they had a complete second half collapse. It really came down to offensive execution in the second half. The Steelers offense made plays in the second half while the Ravens offense found ways to give the game away with 3 offensive turnovers. Changes are going to have to be made if the Ravens are going to get past the Steelers next year and that is for sure.
Final Score: Ravens 24 Steelers 31
It was a defensive battle and a close game just like most of the Ravens vs Steelers games in the past few years. The Baltimore Ravens pounded Ben Roethlisberger early leaving him with a bloody broken nose early in the game courtesy of Haloti Ngata. It wasn’t enough however, as the Steelers returned the favor by forcing a Joe Flacco fumble in the 4th quarter. I honestly can’t hate the Steelers for their win today. They earned it with the toughness of Ben Roethlisberger and better play calling.
With the exception of the pathetic pass at the end of the game, I thought Joe Flacco played fairly well. He probably should have audibled out or got rid of the ball sooner on that play when he fumbled though. Oh well, maybe the Baltimore Ravens will sweep the table and win the last four games. I doubt it but let’s hope for the best.
The Baltimore Ravens vs the Pittsburgh Steelers game will basically be a war between two great teams known for having strong defenses. Both teams are have 8 wins and 3 losses and are battling for the AFC North title. This will be the game of the week to watch especially for Ravens fans. If the Ravens win this game, they will most likely be the AFC North champions this year and will get a home playoff game in Baltimore. The Baltimore Ravens are currently undefeated at home this year and we want it to stay that way at the end of the day.
