1. Scott blows up Big Ben – Nov. 26, 2006
Never was there a more perfect day — from the Baltimore perspective — in the 15-year history of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry than the late-November meeting at M&T Bank Stadium in 2006.
The Ravens whipped the Steelers in every facet of the game, sacking Ben Roethlisberger nine times including a hit from Bart Scott that represents the Ravens’ high point in the history of the rivalry.

“That’s probably the hardest I’ve ever been hit in my life,” said Roethlisberger about Scott’s crushing blow that lifted the 240-pound quarterback right off his feet. “I didn’t see the guy coming.”
Indeed.
The Ravens would win again at Pittsburgh in late December, completing their only season sweep over the Steelers on their way to a franchise-best 13-3 mark.
For a team having been on the receiving end of several trips to the woodshed — before and after that day in 2006 — it was a glorious afternoon embarrassing the Ravens’ biggest foe.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
