The Steelers-Ravens rivalry is heating up early, as Week 16’s battle for the AFC North promises to be nothing short of spectacular. While fans of the Black and Gold were disappointed by the team’s Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the stakes for Week 16 are even higher.
One Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker who understands the significance of this second meeting with the Baltimore Ravens is Patrick Queen, who is eager to embrace the villain role in front of his former team’s fans.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Queen anticipated the atmosphere awaiting him in his return to Baltimore. While he acknowledged the hostility of Ravens fans, he welcomed the negativity.
Patrick Queen on going back to Baltimore:
“I’m probably going to get a lot of FUs and boos and stuff, but at the end of the day, I wouldn’t want any other way.“That’s football, that’s competition. That’s a high level of competitiveness, so I’m all for it.”

Queen made it clear to the NFL world that he has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to playing Baltimore, as according to the Steelers linebacker, his former team showed little interest in re-signing him.
Fans can witness Queen’s revenge tour as the 10-4 Pittsburgh Steelers head to Baltimore to take on the 9-5 Ravens in Week 16 on December 21 at 4:30 PM EST.
