Ben Roethlisberger Calls Steelers-Ravens Rivalry a 'Crazy' Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Baltimore Ravens has become one of the top rivalries in the NFL. 

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who joined the Steelers in 2004 as the 11th overall draft pick, understands what's at stake when these two sides meet as much as anybody else in the league today.        

"This game is crazy. It's a special game," the 35-year-old told reporters Wednesday, per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website.

"I am still here. [Terrell] Suggs is still over there. We've got a lot of respect for each other in this rivalry. We have enough guys here that have played this physical AFC North game here or there, playoff guys. I don't think it will take long, if the young guys don't know now what it will be about."

The Steelers and Ravens are both 2-1 and tied for the division lead heading into Week 4. They will meet at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday.
