The Baltimore Ravens have struggled in their rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers, often coming close but ultimately falling short. In their last loss, the Ravens gave up three turnovers, missed two field goals, and committed 12 penalties, leading to a tough defeat.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey believes that the key to breaking the cycle of close losses is for the Ravens to play disciplined football and stay focused on the task at hand. He notes that the Steelers’ coach, Mike Tomlin, often uses a strategy of keeping the game close and winning it at the end, which has been successful against the Ravens in the past.
Humphrey respects Tomlin’s coaching and the way the Steelers play, citing their ability to run the ball and take shots downfield. He emphasizes that the Ravens must feel confident in their ability to stop the Steelers’ tactics and execute their own game plan if they hope to come out on top.
The rivalry between the two teams is expected to be a close one, with 28 of their 36 matchups being decided by one score. Head coaches Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh have faced off 36 times, with Tomlin holding a 21-15 edge in their all-time record.
