The Eagles Might Get the Steelers on a Short Week
Published:
Some breaking NFL news here:
Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Titans is being postponed per multiple sources. They are considering all options to reschedule, Monday night as one of them. This will all be based on test results.

This is because the Titans facility was shut down due to eight positive COVID tests, five of which were staff and three players. The Vikings, who played Tennessee in week three, are also sitting on their hands right now and waiting for instructions on how to proceed.
The Philly angle here involves the Steelers, who host the Eagles in week five. If they play Tennessee on Monday night, or later, then the Birds will get the Yinzers on short rest. That’s a good thing, because we need all the help we can get.
