Jeers toward the home team are expected in demanding sports cities like Philadelphia, but impatience isn’t something we usually associate with the NFL franchise in Western Pennsylvania. Yet while John Harbaugh’s 18 seasons leading the Baltimore Ravens stand out, they’re matched and slightly exceeded by Mike Tomlin’s 19-year run as Pittsburgh Steelers coach.

Both the Ravens and Steelers entered Week 13 with an opportunity to take control. Both teams refused to do so, both losing. Both stand at 6-6.
The Ravens looked horrific on Thanksgiving, losing 32-14 to the Cincinnati Bengals. Still, as bad as they were, the Steelers looked worse vs. the Buffalo Bills. Now comes a game that one of these teams has to win.
With that, we turn the page to Steelers Week. We have a whole week to prepare for the 64th meeting between these proud organizations. Lamar Jackson vs. Aaron Rodgers… Ravens vs. Steelers…
