The Pittsburgh Steelers have known who's on their schedule since the spring.
But up until Thursday, no one knew when the Steelers and Colts would be playing.
Well, the NFL and the Steelers finally let everyone know:
Steelers at Colts on Dec. 16 @ 4:30 E.T
As a part of their yearly shift to Saturday features, the NFL announced three games that will kick off the league's Saturday takeover including Vikings at Bengals, Steelers at Colts, and Broncos at Lions:
The NFL waits until December to add games to the Saturday slate for one reason and one reason only:
The Law.
You see, the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 prohibits the NFL from infringing on Fridays and Saturdays during the fall because of high school and college football games.
But with HS football deep into the playoffs, and conference championship weekend upon us in college football, that means it's time for the league to swoop in.
A business in the end, the NFL is always looking for ways to get their product in front of as many eyes as possible, making the spreading of the slate an obvious strategy.
The good news is, this stand-alone game will likely feature two teams either situated in the playoffs or clearly in the hunt when you look at the current standings across the AFC, making this Saturday afternoon matinee a must-watch.
