Pittsburgh Steelers game versus Washington Football Team postponed

As Steelers-Ravens goes, so does Steelers-Football Team.

The third delay of Steelers-Ravens has forced a postponement of their Week 13 matchup. Steelers-Football Team will now move from Sunday afternoon to Monday, Dec. 7 at 5:40 p.m. This marks the fifth schedule change for the Steelers since October. Pittsburgh was due to play Tennessee in Week 4 until the Titans experienced their virus outbreak.

The delay gives Washington, which last played on Thanksgiving, additional time to prep and rest.

On the other hand, the Steelers will have a short week to prep for a Washington football team that is riding a two-game win streak and has the fourth-best defense in the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers updated 2020 schedule due to Ravens COVID-19 outbreak

Pittsburgh has now had their schedule adjusted five times (so far) this season.

The Baltimore Ravens, unhappy being forced to play on Tuesday without 20 players after violating COVID-19 protocols, voiced that they were going to strike. In turn, the NFL pushed the game back (again), another 24 hours to Wednesday.

For now, the Steelers-Ravens game will be played Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 3:40 p.m. eastern, as to not interfere with NBC’s broadcast of the 88th Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting ceremony.

The move to Wednesday started a domino effect on the Steelers schedule. Initially, Pittsburgh was to play the Washington Football Team Sunday, Dec. 6. That has now been moved to Monday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. eastern.

  • Steelers-Ravens: Wednesday, Dec. 2 @ 3:40 p.m. eastern
  • Steelers-Washington: Monday, Dec. 7 @ at 5 p.m. eastern
