The fight within the AFC North division rages on in this 2024 season! This new match between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens will be one more chapter which could prove decisive for the division title at the end of this 2024 regular season. Maximum spectacle to be expected!
Two successful teams
If the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens had to have one thing in common in this first half of the 2024 season, it would undoubtedly be their excellent record.
Thus, the Pittsburgh Steelers, led by their emblematic coach Mike Tomlin who has never experienced a season with a negative record since he took the reins of the team at the start of the 2007 season, have only experienced two times the defeat since the start of this 2024 season. But the Steelers have been undefeated for 4 games in a row and just got the better of the Washington Commanders last week, one of the best teams this year.
On the Baltimore Ravens side, the record is almost similar since Lamar Jackson’s teammates only experienced three losses in their first half of the 2024 season. Certainly, Baltimore was a little less impressive away with only 3 victories for two defeats but this team is today one of the main outsiders to reach the Super Bowl at the end of the season.
Fire attack meets strong defense
But this clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens will also be the occasion for a meeting between two completely different styles of play: a fiery attack on the Ravens side and an iron defense on the Steelers!
Since the start of the season, the Baltimore Ravens have been almost unstoppable on offense! Led by Lamar Jackson, still as effective in passing and running, the Ravens can also count on the contribution of running back Derrick Henry who has scored at least one touchdown in each of the games he has played since his arrival in the Maryland. Add to that talented young receivers like Zay Flowers and you have an explosive offensive cocktail.
At the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s the defense that speaks with a physical and powerful game capable of stopping almost any opponent. Spearhead of this impervious defense, the inevitable TJ Watt who still seems to be as efficient despite his 30 years. The result is clear: the Steelers are today the second best defense in the league with only 16.2 points conceded per game on average.
Who will take better, the Steelers defense or the Ravens offense? Answer this Sunday at 7:00 p.m.!
