It's been a confusing past couple of days for the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, especially for tight end Eric Ebron. Ebron and the rest of the 10-0 Steelers were scheduled to headline Thanksgiving Day against the Baltimore Ravens but it was announced on Wednesday that the game will be moved to Sunday after it's been reported that a handful of Ravens players have tested positive of COVID-19. That list included reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.
With just three days to go before their newly scheduled face off, it's seems that it's still unclear if Pittsburgh will indeed be playing on Sunday against the Ravens who have been forced to shut down their training facility since earlier this week. This whole situation has left Pittsburgh players frustrated and confused, at the very least.
Ebron took time on Thanksgiving Day to poke fun at the Steelers' situation by asking a simple question.
“Man let me know if we playing Sunday! Really would like to drink this 1942!” Ebron posted on his account.

Can someone get this member of the Steelers a drink already?
Though the postponement was done to prioritize everyone's healthy and safety, you could understand the frustration coming from the Steelers – especially with how things have been going for them inside the grid iron. Pittsburgh has been rolling and find themselves at the top of the AFC and any change in schedule could kill their winning momentum.
It's also important to note that this isn't the first time that the Steelers have had schedule issues this season due to the pandemic. Earlier in the season, their matchup against the Tennessee Titans was also moved due to several members of the Titans contracting the virus.
That said, the Steelers have managed to breeze past these hurdles and remain as the only unbeaten team in the NFL.
