OWINGS MILLS — As far as outspoken Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley is concerned, the Baltimore Ravens have no shot of making it to the Super Bowl with quarterback Joe Flacco under center.
The Ravens lost to the Steelers in the AFC divisional playoffs last season at Heinz Field, squandering a lead as they committed several turnovers in the second half.
"No, not at all because they have to go through one team, that’s the Pittsburgh Steelers in that AFC championship," Woodley said on NFL Network. "So in order for them to get to the Super Bowl, they have to beat us, and we’re not gonna let that happen once we get that close. So, that’s not gonna happen in this lifetime."
And Woodley had a gloomy outlook for the Cincinnati Bengals now that Carson Palmer refuses to play for them again.
"Well, honestly, when they play against us, it really doesn’t matter whether he’s there or not," Woodley said. "But as far as when they play against other teams, I think that missing him is a big piece of their team. … They’re missing a lot of guys on that offense. So it’s gonna be like starting over from scratch again if Carson don’t come back."
