- Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger says quiet part out loud about Ravens' Super Bowl window
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger may have reignited his rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens , as the future Hall of Fame quarterback isn't sold on their Super Bowl aspirations being realistic.
According to Big Ben, the Ravens, who underwent a massive regime change this offseason, are "falling apart," and their Super Bowl window has "closed."

"To me, losing [John] Harbaugh, [Derrick] Henry's a year older, his body's taken a beating," Roethlisberger said about the Ravens via his Footbahlin podcast. "You just feel like, 'What was going on with Lamar [Jackson] last year?' He just didn't seem like the Lamar that we've been used to seeing. Maybe he was injured. I think he took some shots last year that we didn't think about."
Following their Week 18 loss to the Steelers , the Ravens missed the playoffs and subsequently parted ways with long-time head coach John Harbaugh. Baltimore also lost key players in free agency, such as tight end Isaiah Likely , three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum , and All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard .
Despite Roethlisberger saying the quiet part out loud about the Ravens' Super Bowl window, there are some within the media who still herald Baltimore as a favorite to win the AFC while overlooking the Steelers, a team more deserving of contender status.
