The Ravens Beat and Battered The Steelers So Badly They Couldn't Even Muster Up The Strength To Play Their Traditional 4th Quarter "Renegade" Video
PFT - One key aspect of the Steelers’ home-field advantage is the highlight video usually played at the end of the third quarter. But on Saturday night against the Ravens, the montage set to the Styx song Renegade wasn’t played. The Ravens noticed. “I’ve been here for 12 years now and we’ve been winning a game and they play their little music,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said after the game, via the Baltimore Sun. “We didn’t hear it this year, so I was like, ‘Oh, maybe they’ve got something new.’ “They play their song and then something terrible happens, and it was something usually we couldn’t overcome. But we didn’t get to hear it, and we stayed the course.”
The wheels have been in motion for years now, but the Steelers we used to know and hate with the passion of a million suns…THOSE Steelers are dead and gone. The Ravens went into their den and beat and battered them to a pulp, in the playoffs no less, to the point where they couldn’t even get their toothless faithful on their feet to try to become a factor and save their season. They just laid there like a dead fish and took it. Took soap in a sock and didn’t fight back.
This is a sign of the times in Pittsburgh. They haven’t won a playoff game in 4 years for chrissakes. Heinz used to be real bitch to go into and win a road playoff game. Teams would go into Pittsburgh in January and battle and scrape and claw for every inch. And then they’d play that song and the place would be raucous and Big Ben and his boys would pull it out in the 4th quarter every time. It was like clockwork. They were the bad boys that nobody wanted to see in the playoffs. And that aura officially died on Saturday. The Ravens were whuppin that ass up and down the field. And the Steelers threw in the terrible towel. Got knocked down and didn’t even try to get off the mat and throw their best punch. Just packed it up and called it a season. I would say be better, Pittsburgh, but that’s Pittsburgh. They’re dead. RIP.
