If you’re wondering why many Pittsburgh Steelers players are so angry over the NFL’s news their game against the Baltimore Ravens has been postponed to Thursday, it’s costing them several days off. According to this tweet from NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala Mike Tomlin planned on giving the team Friday through Tuesday off to make up for their lost bye week earlier in the year.
Mike Tomlin had told his players they’d play the #Ravens tomorrow and then be off till Wednesday, making up for the fact that their first “bye” was only three days.
