The NFL, one would think, is up against the door at this point. They can’t postpone the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game against the Baltimore Ravens any more without pushing it to week 18—a week in the regular season that does not currently exist—can it? This is the first Wednesday game the league has played in eight years, and they have already pushed back the teams’ next games.
What if they play Thursday, an entire week later than originally scheduled? Would they still make the Steelers play the Washington Football Team on Monday—or even Tuesday? Could they make that adjustment—would they have to make further adjustments, compensating anew each week?
