(In a shadowy, candlelit temple somewhere…)
JAMES HARRISON: Behold! We are the Council of Elders of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry!
HALOTI NGATA: Preservers of the sacred traditions!
JAMES FARRIOR: It falls upon us to decree how Sunday's game will play out!
TODD HEAP: Sunday's game shall be hard-hitting and low scoring. Like, somewhere around a 23-20 final.
LaMARR WOODLEY: There shall be sacks. Turnovers. Injuries.
JOE FLACCO: The quarterbacks will not play very well.
CASEY HAMPTON: There shall be lots of punts and field goals.
RAY LEWIS: The game will be a resplendent testimonial to the virtues of quintessential tenacity and exuberant competitiveness to which we will all bear fundamental witness.
