Per reports, if the Giants defeat the Dolphins, they will play the Minnesota Vikings on December 27th on Sunday Night Football and the Steelers game would be moved to a 1:00 p.m. kickoff. If the Giants lose, or tie, the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, the Steelers vs. Ravens game will remain a prime time game.
The Steelers and Ravens are typically a lock for two prime time games, but with the Ravens already securing a losing season with a 4-9 record, there isn't much luster to the game, except for the Steelers needing the victory to make their final push to the postseason.
This news now gave Pittsburgh Steelers fans everywhere a reason to watch Monday Night Football.
