Steelers Must Win This Critical Revenge Game in 2020
By Michael Luciano
The Pittsburgh Steelers have circled quite a few dates on the 2020 schedule after a disappointing 2019 season, and one division rivalry stands out as the one team they need to take down during their revenge tour.
The Steelers will take on the Baltimore Ravens in two critical mid-season games, as they travel to Maryland in Week 7 before playing the Ravens in Pittsburgh in Week 12 on Thanksgiving.

Steelers vs Ravens Week 12 Thanksgiving Night
I love when Steelers-Ravens games are later in the year.
Baltimore has always been a thorn in Pittsburgh's side, but Lamar Jackson really broke Pittsburgh's hearts last season. Baltimore pulled out a 26-23 overtime win over Pittsburgh that kicked off a 12-game win streak, and they continued humiliating their AFC North rival by beating them 28-10 with Robert Griffin III and the backups playing instead of Jackson.
Baltimore was also the team which knocked Mason Rudolph out cold. If that doesn't count as something that warrants revenge, we don't know what does.
This Mason Rudolph hit is insane. He’s knocked out before he even hits the ground. How is Earl Thomas still in the game? #BALvsPIT pic.twitter.com/PuDuPopxJc

Baltimore has the offensive firepower, defensive attitude and coaching pedigree to serve as the favorites in the entire AFC, but you should never count out a motivated Steelers team with Ben Roethlisberger back at the helm.
