Why would they change that game? It is going to be a good game and keep us up until midnight. Lots of commercials.
Lot's of night games in a row and dig it!
In the comments below of this tweet,many are not happy with that, because for them,the Ravens are unwatchable!
Many would like to see the Eagles against the Rams for the SNF.
We have to admit that it's ridiculous to see a team with 4 games in prime time in a row and 6 games on primetime in 8 games if we include the christmas game against Houston!
And one of the 2 games that we are not primetime during this span, it's a game against the pats that many will want to watch this game!
My bet is CBS got the word to the NFL before the schedule was drawn up last spring that CBS was in no mood to give up Pats-Steelers to NBC. The NFL may be able to jerk ESPN around with a crap schedule of Monday night games but CBS and Fox are not going to let every great matchup go to Sunday night.
As far as a home field advantage, the Heinz crowd should be just as fired up for a late afternoon Pats game where the second half will be played after sundown.
The scheduling decision I hate the Steelers getting shafted with two Christmas games in a row - FWIW I would prefer to give the NFL a rest on Christmas Day
