Steve Smith Puts Mike Mitchell On His 'Lifetime Hit List'

Steve Smith Sr. has a message for Steelers safety Mike Mitchell after Baltimore's victory Thursday night.

During the game, Smith took a hit from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell. Smith implied that the next time he and his former Carolina Panthers teammate meet...it won't be that pretty. Smith and Mitchell played together in Carolina in 2013, and the safety seems to have a reputation of drawing unnecessary roughness flags and fines for his playing style.

Regarding how he's feeling after the game Smith said, "It's probably the first time in my career I feel like I'm 36."

In response to Mitchell apparently shouting, "How do you like that?" after the hit, Smith responded by telling the media, "The best thing I could do without threatening him and saying that I will assault him when I see him, is I'll say I look forward to playing him again. He's on my lifetime hit list."

Smith missed playing the rest of the game with a lower-back injury.
