Ask Mike Tomlin about playing on a short week and he’ll give you the same answer each time. Both sides have to deal with it. That’s true. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are on a six-day timespan, Sunday to Saturday. In fact, both are playing the exhausting three games in 11 days stretch, the Ravens and Houston Texans following the Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day.
But these two teams are in two vastly different situations. The Steelers were ground into pulp Sunday in Philadelphia. The Ravens cruised to a victory against the New York Giants.
