(ORIGINAL – 10:20 a.m.) The NFL announced the already-once-rescheduled Baltimore-Pittsburgh matchup set for Thanksgiving night will move to Sunday afternoon.
The Ravens reported nine people in the organization (five players, four staff) tested positive for COVID-19 between Monday and Tuesday.
This game, Baltimore at Pittsburgh, was originally scheduled for Week 7, but then Tennessee needed their game with Pittsburgh moved back in Week 4.
Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster made his frustrations heard on Twitter.
First the NFL takes away our bye week because another team can’t get their Covid situation together, now they take away our Thanksgiving primetime game for the same reason. Smh.

Fellow Steelers wideout Chase Claypool was also not thrilled.
What a joke….

So now, the game that was easily going to be the best (on paper) for Thanksgiving night will be played on Sunday. The game time and TV channel is still TBD.
The Thanksgiving slate is now just Houston (3-7) at Detroit (4-6) in the morning (9:30 a.m. PT) and Washington (3-7) at Dallas (3-7) in the afternoon (1:30 p.m. PT)
