Report: Washington-Pittsburgh game could be moved to Monday originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The Washington Football Team's Week 13 clash with the Steelers could be moved from Sunday afternoon to Monday night, as Pittsburgh's Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens has reportedly been postponed a third time -- this time to Wednesday night.
Sources have told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Washington versus Pittsburgh has been moved to Monday night, but multiple other reports have stated no decision has been made just yet.
Ravens-Steelers was originally supposed to take place on Thanksgiving evening but was postponed to this past Sunday after a COVID-19 outbreak within Baltimore's organization. The Ravens have added 23 players to the reserve/COVID-19 list over the past eight days.
The spread of the virus in the Ravens' organization led to another postponement of the AFC North rivalry to Tuesday, and now a third one to Wednesday.
Washington-Pittsburgh was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6. The Ravens are also scheduled to play Dallas on Monday, too, along with the originally scheduled Monday Night Football matchup of Bills-49ers.
As a result of the postponement, Washington will now have one less day to prepare for the San Francisco 49ers. That game is set to take place at State Farm Stadium in Arizona -- not the 49ers' home in Santa Clara -- on Dec. 13 after county officials temporarily prohibited both college and professional contact sports for three weeks due to the continuing rise of COVID-19 cases in the Bay Area.
