Update to Ravens-Steelers pushed back another day … The on-again, off-again game between division-rivals Baltimore and Pittsburgh has been moved again and is now scheduled for Wednesday afternoon with kick-off at 3:40 PM ET. The game was originally scheduled to be played last Thursday as the night-cap to the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day triple-header, but it was first postponed to Sunday, and then to Tuesday because of a covid outbreak among the Ravens. Apparently, the league pushed the game back to Wednesday, at least in part, because the Ravens’ players were threatening a wildcat strike if they were forced to play without being able to practice. For the record, 22 Ravens’ players have tested positive or were identified as a high-risk close contact in the past ten days. In addition, Pittsburgh’s game with Washington, which had originally been scheduled for this coming Sunday, has been pushed back to Monday afternoon at 5 PM ET. Baltimore’s game for this weekend had previously been moved back to Monday; it will also KO at 5 PM ET. At the same time, Baltimore’s game with Dallas, which was originally scheduled for this Thursday, but then was pushed back to Monday, will now be played next Tuesday with KO set for 8 PM ET.
