      Even though I'm from Cincinnati, I never was a Bengals fan. When I was in Pittsburgh, I asked a Steeler fan do they look at The Cincinnati Bengals as a rival, and he told me "no". Yes, they are in The AFC North Division, but until The Bengals bring a Super Bowl to Cincinnati, and beat The Steelers more often, The Pittsburgh Steelers will NEVER......NEVER, EVER, EVER respect The Cincinnati Bengals.

      My point is Steeler football has been a physical brand since the 70's. Secondly The AFC North is the direct descendent of the AFC Central and what team set the standard in that division? The Steelers with physical football. So there is NO way the Ravens set the physical standard as a new franchise.

      Chris Stewart I like those physical games too. Add some vertical game and tough running and that’s football perfection. I grew up watching ‘70s football. It was ok to admire civilized warfare. Today people are hypocrites. The Crabtree/Talib fight got a lot of bad press because it was premeditated and because half the players on the field got out of hand. But it probably also got more TH-cam hits than anything else that week. Btw, I’ll take the Raiders/Chiefs Thursday night battle as game of the year.

  • @cjlawlor95

    A dirty hit is one when a DB launches himself for the head or lower body. What refs don't understand is most of the time what they call "dirty" is actual good and clean. There's so little reaction time offensive player have to evade a hit/tackle that there are bound to be unintended collisions.

    The Steelers of the 90s set that tone before Ray Lewis was there. Yes it was AFC Central, but that was the tone. Maybe you heard of guys like Greg Lloyd, Carnell Lake, Rod Woodson, Jason Gildon. Big hitters. That came from Cowher. It started in the 90s. This is not a slight on Ray Lewis, it was just that the tone was set in the 90s. Greg Lloyd was not "Wasn't Hired for His Disposition."

    Dude not only that, Pittsburgh had 4 bowls and 5 appearances on pure physical football before the ravens even existed. They did what they could to compete in the division. Basically be a great red headed step child to the masters of the AFC Central/North

    Only way to survive in the AFC North is to play physical. The Ravens figured that out in the late '90's when Tennessee was in the division.

    All due respect to Ray Lewis, but the AFC Central was tough and brutal going all the way back to the 70's. The Browns and Steelers rivalry was intense long before the Browns turned into the Ravens. The Steelers had a league changing defense before the Ravens did. Even in the 90's under Cowher, the Steelers had Blitzburgh. I'm not diminishing Lewis's status as one of the all time greats who dominated his era, but he did not make the AFC North what it is today. Those seeds were planted long ago.

    So the Steelers learned to play physical from the Ravens?. Lol Yeah I remember the Ravens in the 70's They where straight killers! Mean Joe Lewis and the crew the top dogs back then. Whitlock went straight under the table during that ode to Ray. Cup the balls and all.

  • @keatonburson2996

    Steelers set the tone in the division in the 70's. All due respect to Ray but he didn't start it. Maybe reignited it.

    You are high man. Steelers were physically dominant before the ravens were a team. Don't forget that. You remember cower power. Greg lloyd meeting Kevin green at the qb. Jason gilden, lavon Kirkland, man it was Pittsburgh that started this.

    The physicality came from the Steelers. Ray Lewis referred to Greg Lloyd as "s monster" That's who he was immulating. That Steeler hater is true to form. Give credit where credit is due!

    Absolutely one of the most ridiculous statements ever...to say that ray Lewis and the Ravens set the tone for the physicality of the AFC north is ridiculous...the Steelers defense Was stacked threw the 90s and 2000s.. let's not forget that blitzburg was smacking around the Ravens when the were the Brown's.. The Steelers defense made the North.. and while every team in the north starts there season goals out to beat the Steelers... We start the season goals out to win a championship..I respect the Ravens but to say they were the reason for become today's black and blue division it the most ridiculous statement ever.

    The history of the AFC North is Steelers 1970s-2010s...Ravens had some seasons but they HAD TO MATCH Pittsburgh...They sit there and prop Ray Lewis they forget Greg Lloyd Levon Kirkland, Kevin Greene, James Harrison, Joey Porter........Seriously Steelers set the tone in the AFC division they've played in since 1974.

      He had a bad habit of leading with his head. The play he got hurt on was legal but what happened to him is the exact reason they tell you not to tackle like that. It's more for the defenders benefit than the ball carrier.
