Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster noted that multiple scheduling changes have impacted the Steelers this season.
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.

Pittsburgh already had their bye week adjusted to Week 4 due to the Tennessee Titans' COVID-19 outbreak.
Head coach Mike Tomlin had told players that following Thursday's game, they would be off until Wednesday to make up for their first bye being only three days long, according to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala.
Rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool chimed in on the postponement as well.
What a joke....

The Steelers will look to take out their frustrations out on the Ravens this Sunday afternoon. Pittsburgh is seeking a season sweep over its AFC North rival after a 28-24 win in Week 8.
