Rivalry Quotes

Steelers: because they steal bandwagon fans in the Akron area with their success. Ravens: because they are the old Browns and the browns failures can be directly attributed the the corrupted move of the original Browns's franchise to Baltimore. Bengals: because they always lose to us when they should beat us and we always lose to them when we should beat them. Bills: because Lake Erie? The two teams play almost every year and it always seems to be a bitter game for one side.
