'What A Joke': Pittsburgh Steelers React To Postponed Thanksgiving Game Against Baltimore Ravens
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Some Pittsburgh Steelers are upset over the decision to postpone their Thanksgiving game against the Ravens, and they're taking to social media.
The general consensus: "SMH."
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.

This isn't the first time the Steelers have had a game rescheduled because of COVID-19 tests among their opponents. They lost their first scheduled bye week when the Tennesee Titans were reporting positive coronavirus cases.
