You have to remember where you’ve been in order to get where you want to go.
In this case, Ravens fans can only hope it’s a trip to the AFC Championship after a win at Heinz Field on Saturday after countless disappointments against their biggest rivals.
Perhaps you’ve clicked this link because you’re a football masochist, secretly preparing yourself for the worst should Baltimore fall short yet again with the stakes as high as they’ve been since the conference championship game two years ago.
A bloodcurdling look back at the low points in the history of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry reminds us that as enjoyable as the highs have been for the Ravens, the lows have been that much more devastating over the 15 years the two teams have battled on the gridiron.
Beating the Steelers on Saturday would immediately become the greatest Baltimore moment in the rivalry’s history while a loss would only mark the latest chapter of bitter disappointment.
With a few honorable mentions to get things started, here are the five lowest Baltimore moments of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry:

Right Now in Baltimore
The Misters Robinson of Baltimore and our fractured city in 1966
His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude's for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966."
What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?
It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.
Johnny O on the lack of progress and Trump chaos and chicanery in Washington
We're all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump's absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
