It’s been a long week for Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are currently the only NFL team who are without a defeat heading into their Week 12 fixture against the Baltimore Ravens. This game was originally scheduled to be played during the Thanksgiving Day prime-time slot.

However, the final (fingers crossed) update from the league confirmed that the Steelers vs Ravens game will be played on Wednesday night at Heinz Field.

He said, “When you look at the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, every single day, there’s an additional positive test. So the Steelers might be perturbed. They might be a bit annoyed.

“I do not believe that it’s going to be because of this that somehow their motivation is elevated to a point where we’re going to see them take something to another level. They’re already undefeated for crying out loud,” Smith said earlier today.
