Oh, how the tables have turned.

Thursday’s Thanksgiving night matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens had to be postponed until Tuesday after several Ravens players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. Several Steelers players were not happy about it.

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Eric Ebron and Chase Claypool and more fired off angry tweets about the situation:

First the NFL takes away our bye week because another team can’t get their Covid situation together, now they take away our Thanksgiving primetime game for the same reason. Smh.

Fast forward to Saturday, and now the Steelers have recorded a positive test for one player and one coach with multiple potential close contacts:

James Conner is the #Steelers player who tested positive for #COVID, multiple sources tell me. He is awaiting a second test tomorrow to confirm these results. Contact tracing continues. And as w/ every positive case in the #NFL and country… here’s to recoveries and good health.

The Steelers and Ravens woke up this morning with 16 players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list between them. With another Steelers player testing positive, per @AdamSchefter, along with a coach, and multiple contacts, that number is going to keep climbing.

As expected, the team is now getting roasted for complaining about positive tests for other teams, only to get positive tests of their own:

Steelers should forfeit
