Ravens Terrell Suggs wears t-shirt to mock Steelers coach Mike Tomlin (Photo)
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are not friends and in their last meeting, their relationship took a turn for the worst when Steelers coach Mike Tomlin subtly stepped his way onto the white sideline during a kickoff return by Jacoby Jones that could have been a 101-yard touchdown. The incident got Mike Tomlin a $100,000 fine, relentless social media embarrassment and found it’s way on a t-shirt that Ravens linebacker wore to practice Tuesday.

When Terrell Suggs took the podium at the press conference he wore a shirt with a photo of the Tomlin incident that read in capital letters, “We will never forget. The north remembers.”
“Hatred is a very strong word. But it seems fitting,” Suggs said when asked to describe the rivalry. “There is a lot of respect because the two teams are so similar. We plan on displaying our thoughts of each other come Thursday. Hopefully, legally, there won’t be too many fines in this game. But some usually do occur.”
While the t-shirt provided some light-heartedness to a severe week for Baltimore after the release of the Ray Rice elevator video that shows him punching his wife, Janay Palmer. Rice has since been released from the team and is suspended by the NFL.
