After reports of no new positives from yesterday or today, there is new reports of 2 positives for today from the ravens. One player and one staff member. The player participated in walkthroughs with the team but didn't travel tonight. If they end up canceling this game anyway... [Reply]
One last note on the #Ravens' situation: The NFLPA is monitoring things along with the league and the team. The union is not attempting to halt the game as of right now, sources say, but will obviously watch tomorrow's POC tests before the game.

More importantly when playing the game anyone is subject to injury, maybe season ending injury, can you imagine how that would hurt the playoff chances of these teams. Plus just the wear and tear even if you're not injured, it's like having another bye week. You got to play the game to make it a level playing field. [Reply]
Has the NFL sufficiently timed it so the Steelers are all but guaranteed a win? The NFL has done a masterful job using the larger situation to help get their desired outcomes. [Reply]

To be fair, if it were all about getting the Steelers a W, they would have forced the Ravens to forfeit or just played the game over the weekend.
I get the sentiment but it's misplaced here. They're obviously giving the Ravens every chance in the world to be competitive. [Reply]

Well, ideally they would have moved it so that Baltimore could have fielded a complete team but that wasn't possible. Baltimore had too large of an outbreak.
Let me frame it this way:
Do you really think the NFL wants to play a game, against any opponent, with Robert Griffin III instead of Lamar Jackson? Quite frankly, Lamar Jackson is a much bigger media push for the NFL right now than Big Ben and the Steelers. [Reply]

I have no idea what the NFL wants, they have a lot of competing agendas. Their priorities and logic seem to change daily.
Well I don't like either team so I at least get to watch a team I don't like get slaughtered. [Reply]
