Steelers Take Advantage of Defenseless Ravens in NFL Monday Night Football
Bill Cowher knows the Baltimore Ravens are still dangerous even without injured defensive stars Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. However, don’t expect the Steelers to lose this one.
The Ravens, without their defensive ace, Ray Lewis, could just be the proverbial sitting duck come Monday Night Football and expect the Steelers to take advantage.
Cowher and his Steelers will try not to underestimate the injury-depleted Ravens when the teams meet for the first time this season at Heinz Field.
The Steelers’ spirits are riding high from their biggest victory of the season, beating AFC North-leading Cincinnati on the road 27-13 on Oct. 23, while the shorthanded Ravens lost to Chicago 10-6.
”We have to come in every time respecting everybody we play,” Cowher said.
”Don’t worry about too much more than the opponent we have this week,” he adds.
Baltimore will be without Lewis and Reed, two former NFL defensive players of the year, from the defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards in the NFL.
Lewis aggravated a thigh injury last week against the Bears and Reed will miss his second successive game with an ankle injury.
But while the Ravens look to be shorthanded for what once figured to be a matchup of the two best teams in the division, Cowher said the most dangerous opponent often is the most desperate opponent.
”Every time we play them, I don’t care about the records. It’s going to be a physical contest and these are two teams that respect each other but have a genuine dislike for one another,” Cowher said.
NFL Monday Night Football will see another awesome football face-off as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens wage war on the 100-yard football field. When it’s all said and done, Pittsburgh will steal the show.
