The Ravens’ rivalry with the Steelers is a relatively new one; however, that doesn’t stop it from being one of the fiercest in the NFL. The rivalry between these two teams dates back to 1996 when the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore to fill the vacancy left by the Colts when they moved to Indianapolis. These two foes have squared off against each other in many big games as they’ve met in the playoffs four times over the last fourteen seasons. The Steelers lead the all-time series 24-18 and hold a 3-1 lead in the postseason, but the Ravens have won many important battles between these two over the years.

The rivalry between these two teams is more of a sentimental one than a competitive one due to the fact the Colts bolted from Baltimore in the middle of the night on March 29, 1984. Ever since then there has been bad blood between Baltimore football fans and the Colts, so don’t miss it when the Colts come to town.

Browns fans have lots of animosity toward the Ravens franchise due to the original Cleveland Browns controversial relocation to Baltimore in 1996. At the start of the 1996 NFL season, the Browns owner Art Modell decided to move the team from their long-time home in Baltimore, Maryland. This move tore the hearts out of many diehard Browns fans leaving a bad taste in the city’s mouth. To this day Browns fans still hold a grudge against the Ravens organization. When attending this matchup, you’ll see plenty of tee shirts reading “Muck Fodell” referring to the hatred for previous Browns owner Art Modell.
