Oh, what a difference a day makes. Steelers Fans’ feelings of excitement Sunday night quickly turned to anxiety after watching Pittsburgh’s AFC North rival, the Baltimore Ravens, put the hammer down on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
The Steel City started the season with an impressive 3-0 record, while the Ravens struggled early with an 0-2 record. However, the two teams have since enjoyed wildly different paths to success. Baltimore has managed to win five straight games, while the Steelers are 3-2 in their last five games.
The two AFC North powers are tied for first place in the division, with the Ravens holding the tiebreaker after beating 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 the Ravens offense. This may be one of the scariest Ravens teams of the last decade, and the Steelers could have their hands full in the division title race. Here are some of the best fan reactions to Baltimore and Pittsburgh’s race to the top.
Lamar has never played well against the Steelers, but damn, this is the scariest Ravens team we’ve seen in over 10 years.

They would be better off moving the Ravens vs. Steelers game to Sunday night in Week 10.

I hate to admit it but the Baltimore Ravens terrify me
Even if Tomlin and the Steelers own it

The Ravens having Derrick Henry makes me a Steelers fan, it just makes me 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.
