This season was never going to run perfectly smoothly, and if a 3:40 p.m. ET kickoff on a Wednesday doesn’t fully illustrate that to you, I don’t know what will.
Yes, the Ravens made it to Pittsburgh. Yes, after a round of rapid tests came back clean, they’ll play in a game tonight against their archrivals. Yes, they’ll turn around, and absent further spread of the virus, play on consecutive short weeks coming out of this.
And my suspicion is that if you told any of us back in July or August that this circumstance would arise in December, no one would’ve been shocked.
