Finally welcoming the Steelers back to Baltimore for a playoff game…

Baltimore Positive / January 6, 2025

The last time the Steelers came to Baltimore for an NFL playoff game, it involved Donald Kroner, a plane crash and a bad home loss. That was 1976. As Leonard Raskin and Nestor reminisce about the more recent January battles of the Ravens going to Pittsburgh for this epic rivalry, this one figures to be a much more favorable match up for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to run to the next stop on a Super Bowl run as a 3 seed over the struggling renegades on the run Saturday night.
