Except this isn’t exactly true:
- Steelers weren’t “screwed” out of a bye. It was moved to WK 4. It’s inconvenient, but not unprecedented. Ask the Ravens. Their bye was moved to WK 2 in 2008. They played 18 straight weeks until the AFC championship ... vs the Steelers.

- This is different from 49ers. NFL felt it contained outbreak in SF, which had 1 pos. test & 3 close contacts. NFL doesn’t feel Baltimore’s outbreak is contained yet - 7 pos. tests in 3 days. That doesn’t include staff & close contacts. Containment is a key difference.
