Post-Ravens Hangover?

[phillyesq]

Hangover is probably the wrong word, but I read that the Steelers are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a Ravens game. The win was Carolina, where they had extra rest.

I can't help but wonder if the extremely physical nature of those games has something to do with it. The announcers during the Ravens game even said something about how you'd want to face these teams the week after that game.

This is certainly not to make excuses for the game, the players or the coaching staff but its interesting to consider.

Sure didn't seem to bother the Ravens. And they were on the wrong end of that physical game against the Ravens. Just sayin...
