Historically, there has been some bad blood between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. As long-time rivals, the two teams and cities squared off on numerous occasions.
Since the Browns return in 1999, the Steelers have mostly controlled the rivalry and, instead, had a more fierce dislike for the Baltimore Ravens.
The dynamic between Cleveland and Pittsburgh started to change recently. The retirement of Ben Roethlisberger turns the page on the Ohio native constantly dominating the home state team that passed on him. The Browns playoff victory showed that the rivalry was alive again.
