Ravens vs. Steelers: Is Baltimore Truly a “Better Team”? Rooney Jr. Sparks Debate
Family ties aside, Patrick Rooney Jr., cousin of Steelers president Art Rooney II, has ignited a fiery debate among NFL fans. In a recent statement, Rooney Jr. boldly declared the Baltimore Ravens superior to the Pittsburgh Steelers, predicting Baltimore’s continued dominance, even with the Steelers’ high-profile acquisitions.
Rooney Jr.’s Rationale: Playoff Victory and Potential to “Steamroll”
Rooney Jr. pointed to the Ravens’ playoff victory over the Steelers as evidence of their current superiority. He further suggested that Baltimore possesses the potential to “steamroll” Pittsburgh in the coming seasons. This strong assertion comes as a blow to Steelers fans hopeful that the arrival of star players like Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey will shift the balance of power in the AFC North.
Will Rodgers and Ramsey Be Enough? Rooney Jr. Doubts It
Rooney Jr. expressed skepticism about the Steelers’ offseason moves. He argued that while Rodgers and Ramsey are undoubtedly talented, they won’t be enough to bridge the gap between Pittsburgh and the top contenders in the division, namely Baltimore and Cincinnati. This bold prediction adds fuel to what is already a heated rivalry and promises to make the 2025 season a must-watch for NFL fans.
