Ben Roethlisberger outlines just how unique the 2020 season has been for the NFL, and the Steelers

2020 has been...different.

Whether it is the coronavirus pandemic, individual area’s response to the virus or the challenges of re-opening society. Throughout it all has created differences and stressors for many people.

Some of those differences would also impact professional sports leagues/teams. The NHL and NBA decided to go into a bubble to complete their seasons, and Major League Baseball delayed the start of their truncated season.

As for the NFL, things stayed on schedule, but COVID-19 protocols have impacted games, rosters and fans being in the seats. As for the Pittsburgh Steelers, a Week 4 fiasco surrounding an outbreak in the Tennessee Titans organization forced their bye week to be moved up and them facing an unusual set of circumstances for the rest of the 2020 regular season.
