The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are always connected.
The two heated rivals are always together in one way or another. Be it competing for an AFC North crown, beating each other up on the field, or, as it has been these past two weeks, moving away from legendary coaches who brought them a Super Bowl at the same time.
They are always mirroring each other in some aspect, which prompted a question this week to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti that sent a shiver down the spines of both franchises' fanbases: Could Mike Tomlin make his way to Baltimore?

Bisciotti was quick to jump on the inquiry.
"Holy [expletive], wouldn't that be interesting?" Bisciotti replied to the question, putting the press on their toes.
The Ravens owner wasn't meek during his first public appearance since the firing of John Harbaugh.
Not only did he reaffirm his stance on removing the coach who was with the franchise for almost two decades, but Bisciotti also let it be known that Harbaugh would have been let go even if they had made the postseason and lost in the first round.

He made a crack about Jerry Jones chasing a ring into his 80s and stressing over the Dallas Cowboys, saying that he wanted to win a few more titles and sell off the team when he reaches 75 years of age in a decade.
Bisciotti joked about "nepo" team owners and said it was wrong to pass down sports franchises like family heirlooms.
And when it came to Tomlin, he also had to make light of the situation, giving the proverbial wink to both Ravens and Steelers fans with his full answer.
"Only if John takes the Pittsburgh job."
Although Harbaugh almost assuredly won't take the Steelers' position, he has been busy since Bisciotti removed him as head coach. Harbaugh has seemingly narrowed his choices down to a trio of teams: the New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, and Tennessee Titans, with other teams doing their best to keep in the mix.
