Oh, what a difference a day makes. Steelers fans’ feelings of excitement on Sunday night quickly turned to anxiety after watching Pittsburgh’s AFC North rival, the Baltimore Ravens, bring the hammer down on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
The ‘Steel City’ started off the season with an impressive 3-0 record, while the Ravens struggled early with a 0-2 record. However, both teams have had extremely different paths to success since. Baltimore was able to win five consecutive contests, while the Steelers have gone 3-2 in their last five games.
Both AFC North powerhouses are tied for first place in the division, with the Ravens holding the tiebreaker after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.
Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry steamrolled the Buccaneers in Week 7, with both players combining for over 500 yards of Ravens’ offense. This may be one of the most frightening Ravens teams of the past decade, and the Steelers may have their hands full in the race for the divisional title. Here are some of the best fan reactions to Baltimore and Pittsburgh’s race to the top.
Lamar has never played good against the Steelers but good lord this is the scariest Ravens team we have seen in 10+ years

I hate to admit it but the Baltimore Ravens terrify me
Even with Tomlin and the Steelers’ ownership of them

The Ravens having Derrick Henry makes me a Steelers fan just sick to my stomach.

Before you freak out about the Ravens. Friendly reminder that the Steelers have beaten them in 6 of the last 7 games.
