You have to be 40+ or a total geek of either team to see this rivalry. That's actually a lot of fans though.

its one of those fan rivalries that no one on the teams currently really cares about, they might be aware of the history but without playing them all that often its hard to have a rivalry

I dunno. Rivalries are kinda dead between players. Social media, mega sports agencies, and the fact they've almost all played on teams or offseason workouts together has killed it. Some players have specific beef but it's not usually because of the color of their jerseys.

Not entirely, often divisional rivals still don't get along very well

Players in the digital age era are always commiserating after games now win or lose. Fans take rivalries much more serious than players.

It's been so long since we had any real games, I wouldn't call them a rival anymore. I would argue that our last real rivals were the Seahawks like 6 years ago.
