Ravens vs Steelers set for Wednesday afternoon After a third postponement, the Baltimore Ravens will finally face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. The game which was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving night was pushed to Tuesday and now to Wednesday due to a COIVD-19 outbreak in Baltimore's organization. The Pittsburgh Steelers took to social media sharing their frustration after their primetime spot was taken away on Thanksgiving. The game that has been moved to Wednesday is now interfering with the annual Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting and is set for the afternoon. This delay does allow running backs Mark Ingram and J.K Dobbins to play however the Ravens will be missing 12 active players, including MVP Lamar Jackson. Sports Illustrated host Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Noah Strackbeinfrom AllSteelers and Todd Karpovich from Raven Country for insight.

Week 12 will now extend into Wednesday, meaning three prime time games early next week as the NFL tries to keep the season on track to finish in 17 weeks. Our weekly Monday afternoon/evening news and notes, following what has been quite a different 24 hours in the NFL … • So in case you’ve been offline all day, Ravens–Steelers (originally scheduled for Thanksgiving night) will be played Wednesday , which has necessitated moving two more games with Steelers–Washington (initially scheduled for Sunday) being moved to Monday and Ravens–Cowboys (initially scheduled for this coming Thursday) sliding over to Tuesday. Which means we’ll have three games early next week, including a Monday double-header. And the late game on Monday, Niners–Bills, has been moved to Arizona, because San Francisco can no longer play home games under new Santa Clara County rules on contact sports. Got all that? Oh, and by the way, NFL officials believe this week will be worse than last week from a COVID-19 pers...

The strangest week of the NFL's strangest season gave us a team with no QBs, and has a twice-postponed game on for Tuesday night despite a COVID-19 outbreak. The weirdest season in NFL history took another left-hand turn on Saturday afternoon at 12:45 p.m. MT, when Broncos vice president of football operations Mark Thewes waved coach Vic Fangio into his office and let him know the league office was on the speaker phone sitting on his desk. Out a window, they could see their players 20 minutes into warmups on the field and 15 minutes away from what would be an accelerated walkthrough—as the Broncos tried to make up for a Friday practice they canceled after putting backup QB Jeff Driskel on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. Even then, the Broncos had no idea how strange things were about to get. They were just told to pull the rest of their QBs from the practice field. Fangio went out and did that, telling Drew Lock, Blake Bortles and Brett Rypien to head home and wait for more dire...

The New Orleans Saints beat the Denver Broncos 31-3 with wide receiver Kendall Hinton starting at quarterback. The Denver Broncos were in a bit of a quarterback quandary on Sunday after their passers were ruled out for the game due to COVID-19. QB Jeff Driskel tested positive for the virus and the NFL learned that Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were not wearing masks while watching film together- leaving them all ineligible to play. Sports Illustrated host Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Chad Jensen from Mile High Huddle for insight.

The Broncos were without all of their quarterbacks in Sunday's 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints. Speaking to reporters following his team's 31-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday, Broncos coach Vic Fangio expressed his disappointment about the position his team was in heading into the game. Denver was forced to play with practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback after every quarterback on its roster was ruled out as a high-risk close contact. Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, and fellow quarterbacks Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were all ineligible to play after coming into contact with Driskel without wearing their masks. "I was disappointed on a couple of levels, that our quarterbacks put us in this position, that our quarterbacks put the league in this position, we count on them to be the leaders of this team, so that's disappointing," Fangio said, according to Brandon Krisztal of KOA ...

Tyreek Hill had 269 receiving yards and three touchdowns - topping 200 scoring two TDs the first quarter alone - as the Kansas City Chiefs got off to a flier in a 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. from SkySports | News https://ift.tt/3o8zX9j

Denver's 31-3 defeat at the hands of the Saints was both a boring watch and a painful reminder of how casually some are still treating the pandemic. “Man, this is great.” That’s how color analyst Mark Schlereth started us off on Sunday over an image of emergency quarterback (and former practice squad wide receiver) Kendall Hinton before kickoff of a Saints-Broncos game. It was an afternoon that would not feature a single quarterback for Denver due to the fact that every single one of them had set off red flags due to their close, maskless proximity to Jeff Driskel, who tested positive during the week. Sure, on one hand it’s kind of a perverse curiosity; a team has to essentially revert to running the Wing-T amid this unprecedented season as the virus rips its way through their locker room and several other locker rooms ( and the country , as we’re fast approaching a horrifying daily death record set back in April at a time when we surely thought all of this would be under con...

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Tyreek Hill challenged two longstanding NFL records on Sunday. The Chiefs sport the most explosive offense in the NFL, and Kansas City's dynamic duo chased the record books in a matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.  Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill tallied 210 receiving yards in the first half in Tampa Bay, challenging the all-time single-game yardage record as he finished the afternoon with 269 receiving yards. And Hill's quarterback started the contest on a similar pace.  Patrick Mahomes entered the locker room at halftime with 359 passing yards, putting him on pace to set the single-game passing yardage record. Mahomes won MVP in 2018, and he won Super Bowl MVP last season. But Sunday marked perhaps the greatest performance of his career as he finished the afternoon with 462 yards passing and three touchdowns.  You have to travel far back in the annals of NFL history to find the record Mahomes ch...
