4 reasons Steelers have even more cause to beat Ravens on Tuesday night
By Tommy Jaggi
The Steelers are in terrific shape
When it comes to injured players or those who are forced to sit on Reserve/COVID-19 this week, the list runs very short. While it’s never good when the Steelers are missing one of their best players (Stephon Tuitt) in a matchup against their most hated rival, Pittsburgh is in terrific shape in Week 12.
Ben Roethlisberger is healthy and rearing to go against a Ravens team that will be forced to promote at least 14 players for this week’s matchup, and the Steelers are pretty healthy across the board. Apart from a season-ending ACL tear from Devin Bush earlier this season, Mike Tomlin’s team really has been remarkably healthy (which is probably part of the reason why they are 10-0 at this point as well).
This good report doesn’t seem to be changing prior to the Ravens game, but more players being added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list could throw a curveball at the team if more positive tests pop up before Tuesday.
While it initially looked like the Steelers were going to be robbed of another competitive advantage, it seems that advantage has now doubled or even tripled in size. Let’s hope nobody else tests positive and this game can be played on Tuesday night.
