Steelers Have Had The Ravens' Number In Recent Games

The Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers will face off in a monumental Week 11 showdown to determine the AFC North’s top team. While the caliber of both teams can make this an exciting match, Pittsburgh has had the upper hand against Baltimore in their last ten meetings.

As posted by the FOX Sports NFL account on X (formerly Twitter), the Steelers have won seven of their last ten games against their division rivals. That count includes three consecutive victories by Pittsburgh from Jan. 1, 2023, to Oct. 8, 2023, and Jan. 6, 2024. While neither team reached the 20-point mark in those matches, Pittsburgh outscored Baltimore 50-33.

Baltimore’s last victory against Pittsburgh was a 16-14 nailbiter on Dec. 11, 2022. Before that win, the Steelers’ previous defeat to the Ravens came in 2019.

However, the 2024 Ravens could end the skid because quarterback Lamar Jackson is playing on a different level. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player leads an offense that tops the NFL in yards per game (440.2), rushing yards per game (182.6), and points per game (31.8). Meanwhile, Baltimore ranks third in passing yards per game at 257.6.

Conversely, the Steelers defense can neutralize the Ravens’ high-powered offense. Pittsburgh ranks fourth in rushing yards allowed (87.1) and allows the eighth-fewest total yards (302.7) per game. Their contrasting strengths should make this pairing intriguing.
