Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. This Afternoon, it is Washington Football Team taking on Pittsburgh Steelers.

This game was supposed to be scheduled for yesterday. However, due to the Ravens’ COVID-19 outbreak, this game is moved back to today since Ravens and Steelers had to wait six days to play their game.

While that drama was occurring, the Football Team of the DMV has not played in 11 days and is coming off a big win against Cowboys on Thanksgiving. A win today and they will be tied for the NFC East lead.
​
For the Steelers, they feel that they did not play their best football against the Ravens. And would like to play better before their Sunday Night Showdown vs. Bills.

It is Washington Football Team taking on Pittsburgh Steelers, coming up shortly.

StWashington is in their road white jerseys, pants and maroon helmets. Steelers
