The loss of outside linebacker Terrell Suggs will have more of an emotional impact than a physical one on the Ravens.
It is similar to the scenario in 2012, when inside linebacker Ray Lewis played just six games because of a torn triceps suffered against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 14. The Ravens went on to win the Super Bowl that season, with Lewis rejoining the team for their great postseason run.
This isn't to say history will repeat itself — after all, Suggs won't be returning this season. It's just comparing two great players who were past their primes, yet still excelled as leaders.
