BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens' locker room was as loose as it has been all season, which was a telling sign about the team's mindset coming off the bye.

Cornerback Jimmy Smith took selfies during Terrell Suggs' interview scrum with reporters. Suggs performed a high-step dance in the middle of the locker room. And Joe Flacco and teammates engaged in a long and humorous debate on the proper pronunciation of the word "jalapeno."

It didn't resemble a team that is mired in a four-game losing streak. It did look like a team that has owned its biggest rival.

Heading into Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens exuded confidence that comes from beating Pittsburgh in five of the past six meetings, including three in a row.

Why have the Ravens had their way with the Steelers?

"It's just what we do," nose tackle Brandon Williams said. "We feel like we are built to beat the Steelers."

That entailed bringing in a quarterback who has the poise to lead comebacks against the Steelers' blitzes, a pass-rusher who can bring down Ben Roethlisberger and a strong-legged kicker who can beat the tricky winds of Heinz Field.

In his past five games against Pittsburgh, Flacco is 4-1 with eight touchdowns and two interceptions (96.3 passer rating). Suggs has sacked Roethlisberger 16.5 times, the most any NFL defender has dropped a quarterback. And kicker Justin Tucker is 25-of-26 (96.2 percent) on field goals against the Steelers, which includes a 52-yarder in overtime in Pittsburgh last season.

As a result, the last time the Ravens lost to the Steelers was November 2014. But the players aren't saying they've figured out Pittsburgh.

“We haven’t mastered anything,” Suggs said. “If you look at the two games last year, there were some fortunate things that happened for us in the course of the games, maybe a missed field goal here and there.”
