In one of the biggest games of the year thus far in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are set to renew one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports. 

And while the matchup is sure to feature a lot of familiar faces, there are some new names for both teams, as they get initiated into a bitter rivary. 

So to prepare for a game of such magnitude, I reached out to Ravens analyst Adam Holt, who had some strong words for the matchup:


Can Lamar Jackson Overcome his 2-4 record against the Steelers?

I think Lamar can overcome his woes on Sunday. The difference to me? The running attack outside of him. Derrick Henry provides a new threat that he hasn’t had in the backfield before. As long as his receivers make the plays he hands to them, think Jackson can take advantage.

How is RB Derrick Henry having what might be his best season at age 30?

It’s been intriguing to watch. Many folks thought he had played his best ball with Tennessee, but he looks as explosive as ever in purple. Not to mention, Justice Hill looks like a better option in the backfield as a change of pace with him.

Final Prediction

Think this will be another close divisional clash. I’ll take the Ravens in one of the better AFC games of the season so far, 27-24.
