When these two teams met earlier this season, a 23-20 overtime victory by Baltimore in Pittsburgh, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined with a sprained knee. This time, it’s the Ravens who are without their top quarterback. “But it’s the National Football League, and there are always going to be injuries”. It was a big game for us, everybody knew that. The over/under of 47 means something like Steelers 28-18. While Roethlisberger was nursing an MCL sprain, backup Michael Vick passed for only 124 yards. Though the Steelers (9-5) are a heavy road favorite and NBC flexed the game out of its Sunday Night Football package, the Ravens are still excited. Coupled with a loss by the New York Jets to the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh will earn that entry.

Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin has seen Smith’s development from when he was a collegiate teammate alongside Tomlin’s own first-round pick, Bud Dupree, who played alongside Smith at Kentucky. “But largely, their schematics are their schematics, and they have a playing style that has been displayed throughout the 14 games that they’ve played”. If Mallett starts – which won’t be known until game time – he will have had two weeks of preparation in Offensive Coordinator Marc Trestman’s system. But this is Steelers-Ravens, so…
TAKE IT AWAY: The Steelers have generated eight takeaways during their current season-high three-game winning streak (six interceptions, two fumble recoveries). “We want to keep this rolling and take it into the playoffs”. Their starting left tackle went down for the season in the first six games. “We’re going to give everything we’ve got, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to do the same”. “They’re just looking for big plays”. The Ravens won those games in 2004 (Roethlisberger’s pro debut), 2005, 2006 and 2011.
Williams didn’t have much of a role in the previous matchup between these two teams, but Le’Veon Bell did run for 129 yards on 22 carries back in Week 4.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (84) celebrates his touchdown with teammate Darrius … Their logo, their colors, their head coach, their GM, their fans, their players, etc. The distain I have for the Ravens is second to none.
Baltimore, meanwhile, has come to rely on Kamar Aiken since Steve Smith’s season ended with a torn Achilles tendon. There isn’t one single thing that I like about them.
