The Pittsburgh Steelers, along with the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, were subjected to a grueling three games in 11 days in order to play on Christmas Day, and Steelers S DeShon Elliott isn’t particularly happy with the schedule. Speaking to the media today, Elliott said the NFL didn’t do the Steelers any favors with their schedule and that with 17-game seasons, players deserve an extra bye week.
“With the NFL doing us over with the three games in 11 days we kind of needed that,” Elliott said of the mini break the Steelers just had via Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Twitter.
