[@mjohnsonjr23]

As a Ravens fan, I sure miss this rivalry. These were the two best defenses in football. What made the Steelers better during this time was they had the better QB. Big Ben would always make the plays in the clutch to win the game.That was the difference early on until Flacco got more experience and started snatching some wins of his own. Two awesome franchises going for blood every time they met. Much respect Steeler fans.

[@zsutton6687]

It is crazy how many hall of famers competed in this rivalry lol I still hate Suggs, respect the talent though. I agree for much of this it seemed like Flacco would do something to lose it or couldn't make that 1 play when they needed it. Cincy had their rubs, but the constant was always the Steelers and Ravens. Every game seemed like it was to decide the division or seeding in the playoffs lol I miss it man never could tell how the game would go but knew Troy and Ray were coming to play.

To this day I’ve only gone to one ravens-Steelers game since going to this one. There was a war on the field and in the stands in this one 😂😂😂. In terms of that years series, it was 3-0 Steelers but it could have completely gone the other way with how close all three games were. I was 8 that year and it was my first year really watching football and the Ravens, and each loss was more and more soul crushing at the time. Looking back on it now, the Ravens offense was far too young to really beat Pittsburgh (the two defenses were basically just as good as each other). Flacco and Rice were rookies, McClain and Yanda were 2nd year guys. Harbaugh a first year coach as well. Ravens eventually made up for it obviously by winning the super Bowl in 2012. But you notice how 12 years ago this rivalry was high stakes and basically has been that way until 2020, it’s a credit to both organizations: Hall of Fame GMs, Likely Hall of Fame coaches, and not necessarily two Hall of Fame qbs (obviously bens in), but the ravens last two starters at QB are an MVP and a Super Bowl MVP. Interesting to see which one takes the North this year (or if the browns hop in there wouldn’t that be crazy).

I remember this game, but didn't understand all the controversy surrounding it since I was pretty young at the time. Seeing it now, I see why Ravens fans would be upset; the refs' explanation was terrible. I think it's safe to say that the ball did break the plane and replays definitely show that, however, the ref only stated that Holmes had two feet down in the endzone with possession, so we weren't given a legitimate reason for the reversal of the call. It's a TD when the ball breaks the plane, not when a player's body is in the endzone. According to the ref in this case, this shouldn't have been a TD. I'm not a Steelers or Ravens fan, but I get why Baltimore fans would be pissed about this call. It cost them the division and may have killed their shot at homefield advantage in the AFC Championship, where they ended up losing at Heinz Field ironically enough.

@@acapt3593 no check the record again lol, it won't be a rivalry if only won team wins.

[@darius5514]

you're right they don’t only show big games from the 2000’s

[@USALeonHeart]

The Ravens losing to the Steelers THREE TIMES in 2008 was one of my most humiliating memories as a Ravens fan. So pathetic, especially in the championship game with Flacco throwing the game-loser. How do you lose to the same team THREE TIMES?!

[@EdmacZ]

Hey, the Steelers lost to the same Jaguars team twice at home. Twice. It’s the NFL. It happens.

[@mwaurathuku4241]

I can’t believe we lost all three games, we should’ve at least won this one

[@campbellstewart9938]

How can it be “everything on the line” when the losing team wasn’t eliminated from the postseason (and eventually made it)?

[@backspace4203]

Great rivalry that won’t have 2 hungry teams playing. The Ravens are sitting their starters. The entertainment will be seeing if the Steelers get the wild card.

[@griswoldclark6835]

I still have no idea how that last steelers td was confirmed. The ball never crossed the goal line.
