Really...it shouldn't be that big. We play them TWICE a year. We should occasionally split with them. You figure, if we win 40% of the time against them that's 2 out of 5. We should win 8 games against them in 10 years.
Of course, we all know how pathetic our record is against them. The players know too. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy where the players put a ton of importance on it and mess the game up somehow.
But...it shouldn't be that important.
the same reason any browns win is a big deal...
We don't beat the steelers often enough and they have long been the top dog in the division... Beating them is nice... but beating them consistently will be even better.
Long story short they have long been in our Way and beating them shows we are more on an equal level than their whipping boys.
