The Ravens-Steelers game has developed into one of the best rivalries in football, and that showed on Sunday night.

The Ravens delivered record-setting ratings for Week 9, as nearly half a million households in the local market tuned into the game, according to the Neilsen Company.

The nationally televised game was the top broadcast of the week, as 22.12 million people tuned in.

Television ratings are up across the NFL this year.

Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Houston, New England and the New York Giants are all off to their best ratings start through nine weeks of the season.
