    <h3>Steelers look to turn tables on Ravens</h3>



    Baltimore (4-3) at Pittsburgh (5-2) Monday 8:30 pm EDT

    PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Recent history has not been kind to thePittsburgh Steelers against one of their AFC North rivals.

    The Steelers will be out for revenge when they host theBaltimore Ravens on Monday night.


    Last season, the Ravens beat up on the Steelers, sweeping theseason series in overpowering fashion, winning by scores of 27-0and 31-7.


    Baltimore's defense was dominant in the two games, registering14 sacks and holding star running back Willie Parker to 22 and29 yards, respectively.


    The Steelers hope to turn the tables this season, starting witha little history of their own.


    Pittsburgh is unbeaten in three home games this season,outscoring the opposition, 84-19, and the team is also 11-0 athome on Monday Night Football since 1992.


    The Steelers are one shy of the NFL record for most consecutivehome wins on Monday, held by the Oakland Raiders, who won 12straight Monday night games from 1970-1985.


    And in what promises to be an emotional night, the Steelers willdon their throwback jerseys and honor their All-Time team inthe franchise's 75th season.


    Is there a better way to get stoked up for a hated rival?

    "The feeling's mutual: They don't like us, and we don't likethem," Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said. "There's no needto hide it. They know it and we know it."


    Ward had a pair of touchdown receptions in last weekend's 24-13win at Cincinnati and is within two of tying John Stallworth(63) as the career franchise leader.


    Parker had his sixth 100-yard game, rushing for 126 and atouchdown on 22 carries against the Bengals. Ben Roethlisbergerextended his streak of throwing at least one TD pass to 12straight games. He has 15 on the season, just three shy of histotal from last season.


    Coming off a bye week, the Ravens are hoping to solve their woeson offense.


    Baltimore has managed just four touchdowns in its past fourgames, but managed to split them behind the stout defense and 10field goals from Matt Stover.


    Steve McNair is expected to be back at quarterback for theRavens. The 13-year veteran has missed three games this season,including the two before the bye week, and was unable to finishtwo others due to a nagging groin injury.


    Running back Willis McGahee ranks third in the AFC in rushingwith 639 yards and is coming off a season-best 114-yard effortwith one touchdown on 19 carries in a 19-14 loss to the BuffaloBills.


    Ravens coach Brian Billick has won eight of his last nineagainst the Steelers, including three straight.
