Steelers, Ravens have a lot riding on this game

Even if the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers were out of contention and couldn't play defense worth a lick, their acrimonious rivalry would make this game meaningful.

 

Given that the AFC North lead is at stake and the teams are ranked 1-2 in total defense, the importance of today's matchup can hardly be understated.

 

''Realistically, you really can't ask for a better scenario, period,'' Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said. ''No matter who it was.''

 

Oh, but it's the hated Steelers. The Ravens played a so-called rivalry game against the Washington Redskins last Sunday and treated the confrontation with indifference. The mood is decidedly different this week.

 

 

 

''I don't think I need any extra boost for this one,'' Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. ''Since the 2006 playoff game [against Indianapolis], this is probably the biggest game I've played in.''
