Pittsburgh Steelers fans were not happy once they realized that the Baltimore Ravens would be given a bye week just before their game with the AFC North division leaders. When the Tennessee Titans experienced a Covid-19 outbreak, it forced the league to reschedule games, and that included moving the scheduled Steelers-Ravens game from week eight to week seven, leaving the Steelers to play the Titans in week seven and the Ravens to take that time off.
But they didn’t just get rest. They also got better, as they acquired a new starter on defense in the process, adding Pro Bowl pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue via trade from the Minnesota Vikings.
