It might be petty to continue taking jabs at Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen. However, Baltimore Ravens fans know that Queen made a total mockery of his former team by joining their rivals this offseason. For Ravens fans, there was nothing more orgasmic than watching running back Derrick Henry scorch Queen on a 44-yard touchdown run in the AFC Wild Card victory this past weekend.
Asked about Derrick Henry’s long touchdown run, Patrick Queen said, “I don’t want to talk about it.”

Queen was in on 10 total tackles Saturday but was a shadow to Henry’s whopping 7.2-yard average per rush attempt. Considering Henry had 26 carries for 186 rushing yards in the game, there must be some nutritional value in the seafood near the Baltimore Harbor. Henry shoved Queen with an emphatic stiff arm before stretching the Ravens’ lead 28-7 in the third quarter, a play that seemed to be the absolute dagger.
Queen had a choice to negotiate with whatever franchise he wanted, and his decision to join the Steelers seemed like a slap in the face. From the public comments to the boastful posturing that ensued when the Steelers defeated the Ravens on Nov. 17, Ravens fans have every right to tease Queen for betraying the franchise that almost yielded him an AFC Championship last season.
Now, all Queen can do is covertly hope that the Buffalo Bills defeat the Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round to bring some solace to his very apparent misfortune. Indeed, Queen won’t be spotted near Baltimore eating any King Crab this winter.
