NFL: Ravens/Steelers met with a further delay, has Wednesday kickoff

PITTSBURGH — For the third time in a row, a Week 12 matchup is again being rescheduled in the NFL. An NFL press release Monday would reveal that the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers will again be moved. The NBC broadcast will now be on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 3:40 p.m. Eastern. Similar to the previous postponements, the NFL would make this decision out of an “abundance of caution.” The release states that the league was wanting to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches, and game-day personnel. Their decision would also come following consultation with medical experts. There were previous postponements on Wednesday, Nov. 25 and Friday, Nov. 27.
