It seems like Thanksgiving was forever ago (and it was! As of publishing this post it was nearly two weeks ago).
But we have to cite the holiday here because the Baltimore Ravens game that was supposed to be played on that Thursday night had repercussions on the game that will take place on this Tuesday.
It was in Week 12 that the Ravens — who had a COVID-19 outbreak — ended up playing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
Baltimore was then supposed to play the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Dec. 3 for their Week 13 game. And there was no way the NFL was going to have a team play on back-to-back nights. So THAT game was moved to Tuesday night, Dec 8.
Our Week 12 game at Pittsburgh has been moved to Wednesday, December 2nd, at 3:40 p.m. broadcast nationally on NBC.
Our Week 13 game vs the Dallas Cowboys will be moved to Tuesday, December 8th, at 8:05 p.m. broadcast nationally on FOX/ NFL Network/ Amazon.

Fun fact: it’ll be the third regular-season Tuesday NFL game since 1946:
Cowboys will play their first Tuesday game in franchise history next week in Baltimore. Three most recent NFL regular-season games to be played on a Tuesday:
Oct. 13, 2020 – Titans 42, Bills 16
Dec. 28, 2010 – Vikings 24, Eagles 14
Oct. 1, 1946 – Giants 17, Boston Yanks 0— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) December 1, 2020
