PITTSBURGH (AP) – Once again, two games in a season weren’t enough for the Ravens and Steelers, division opponents who can’t stand each other yet can’t seem to stop playing one another.
For the second time in three seasons and the third time in a decade, they’ll meet in the playoffs – their eighth game in the last three seasons alone. And it will be in Pittsburgh, where January football is about as uninviting as it gets for an opposing team. And where the Ravens have never won in the postseason.
Somehow, both teams figured it would come down to this – beat the other, and advance to the AFC championship game. Any other scenario almost would have been incomplete for two rivals who finished the season with identical 12-4 records, and whose two previous games ended in a combined score of 27-27.
