After Sunday's big win over the San Diego Chargers, the Steelers are looking ahead to taking on the Baltimore Ravens for the third time this season.
The Steelers were victorious in the first two meetings – one in overtime and the other in a last minute score.
The dust has barely settled at Heinz Field and already the focus is on the hated Ravens.
"I truly believe we can walk on them," said Steelers fan Willie Epps.
"The boys are playing good. They're playing really good," said Steelers fan Elaine Crosby.
So, what about Baltimore rookie sensation Joe Flacco?
"Our defense will crush him," said Epps.
"Harrison will put some pressure on him," said Crosby. "He's going to fold like a chair."
But it's not all adversarial, just some good natured ribbing.
KDKA cameras spotted two Steelers' fans and a Ravens' fan, wearing purple and black pants and a Ravens' sweatshirt, working side by side near the airport.
"When he walked in I said, 'You're going be in trouble if you keep that shirt on'," said Steve Trumpy.
"This is Baltimore urban street wear right here," said Ravens' fan Bill Heim.
It has been a war of words on the job site since work started this morning.
"I would say a hard-hitting game, very, very hard hitting," said Heim.
"Pittsburgh is going to win. Third time is a charm," said Steelers' fan Tim March.
"The Ravens are going to win on the road," said Heim. "I think they'll win on the road by at least 7."
"I think we're going to be up by three," said Trumpy.
Remember to watch Sunday's game on KDKA-TV beginning at 6:30 p.m.
