Unfiltered: Tim Benz and Mark Madden discuss delayed Steelers-Ravens matchup

Tim Benz and Mark Madden return for this week’s edition of “Unfiltered” on TribLive’s Facebook page to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the Baltimore Ravens - which was postponed from Thanksgiving. It’s set for Tuesday night, but will be happen?

Benz and Madden discuss possibilities if the game is pushed forward again.

But Madden thinks the game will be played Tuesday, thoughhe says it will be a joke of the game, as so many Ravens players will be out because of covid-19 protocol.

Madden goes on to say that the NFL should consider going into a bubble for the playoffs. As he sees it, it’s one thing to have a regular season game moved around, but it’s another thing to ruin the playoffs.

“The NFL should give serious consideration for a bubble model once the post-season starts,” says Madden.

Benz agrees and says that fans wouldn’t want to see playoff games where top players are out because of covid.

The guys also talk about other news in the NFL, including a look at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Two former Steelers players are one the rosters of those teams, but neither made much of an impact.

They also discuss how the NFL is handling covid-19 cases, Pitt football and basketball programs, missing hockey games, and much more, including taking readers comments.
