Last week the Baltimore Ravens ended the Pittsburgh Steelers season is ugly fashion. Now the Steelers and their fans have turned their attention to the offseason after another playoff failing.
The Ravens square off this week against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round and have a real shot to make it to the AFC Championship. Our question is about whether or not the Steelers should be rooting for the Ravens this weekend and going forward should they win.
We will be cheering for the Ravens without a doubt. Why? Because the Steelers organization needs to be put on notice. The Steelers were fortunate to secure a playoff spot ahead of their late-season slide because without a doubt they were the worst team to make it in. Even the Cincinnati Bengals, who narrowly missed the playoffs were playing much better football and had just beat Pittsburgh.
But a deep run by the Ravens might be just what this franchise needs to spark some real change. It might be a longshot as the Steelers don’t seem fazed at all by their lack of success and being outclassed by other teams but maybe seeing Lamar Jackson hoist a Lombardi Trophy might be the big nudge they need to build a competitive roster and coaching staff.
