The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens have one of the best and most vicious rivalries in all of sports.
The teams are almost identical in their philosophies and are evenly matched for the most part. Last year, the two teams split victories in the regular season, but the Steelers defeated the Ravens in the playoffs.
The biggest edge the Steelers have had over the Ravens is at the quarterback position. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 0-6 against the Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger starts at quarterback.
Flacco is 2-0 against the Steelers when Roethlisberger has not started. Coincidence? I don't think so.
In the six losses, Flacco has just five touchdowns and seven interceptions.All of those games but one have been decided by a touchdown or less. The 2008 AFC Championship game being the only exception, and that game was a two-point game in the fourth quarter, when Flacco threw a pick-six to Steelers safety Troy Polamalu.
