Late Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic published, “Ravens players hold their ground, matchup with Steelers is pushed back a day.” The article documents the chain of events that caused a third (and hopefully final) postponement of Steelers-Ravens.
“They were uncomfortable with the safety risks of having to play an NFL game against their fiercest rival without having a legitimate practice or conditioning session in over a week,” wrote Zrebiec.
Let’s pretend for a moment that injury risks due to no practice are the true reason behind the team threatening to strike.
