It didn’t take long for the energy and rivalry of the interdivisional matchup between AFC North foes—the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens—to rub off on one of the Steel City’s newest acquisitions, OLB Preston Smith.
While Smith may be in line for a significant role in Week 11, the former Packers edge rusher made the most of his limited playing time in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders, recording one sack on just 12 pass-rush attempts.
When asked about his potential role against the Baltimore Ravens, Smith didn’t mince words—he wants to make history.

“I’m just trying to do my part. Hopefully I go out there and make some exciting, historical plays that help us win a game so when they turn on the Steelers vs. Ravens, it’s some clips of me being played.” pic.twitter.com/QfCEHMOTNq

Smith will likely have to share time off the right edge with the seemingly ready-to-return Nick Herbig, but fans, including myself, would be remiss to let any of his highlight-reel plays on Sunday go unappreciated.
Tune in on November 17 at 1:00 PM EST to witness Smith attempt to make history at the expense of a Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.
