Could the Ravens-Steelers game on Sunday night be moved?

What at first appeared to be a ridiculous idea at the beginning of the season could bear watching over this weekend. If the Ravens lose to the Cleveland Browns on Monday night, they would fall to 4-5 with an upcoming clash against the currently undefeated Indianapolis Colts.
And if the Ravens lose to the Colts at M&T Bank Stadium on Nov. 22, that might put the Nov. 29 primetime tilt against the reigning Super Bowl champion and AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers at risk of being moved into the afternoon.
Pro Football Talk, the first outlet to speculate on the potential change, notes that the only contest with enough implications and interest to bump the Ravens from that coveted Sunday night gig is the Colts at the Houston Texans.
Pro Football Talk also cites the Texans' scheduled Monday night game against the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 23 as a possible reason for keeping the Ravens-Steelers game right where it is.
Naturally, Ravens coach John Harbaugh had other things on his mind than a game that is two weeks away.
"I don’t know anything about that, I haven’t heard anything about it, and as you were saying, we really don’t care," he said. "Whatever time they say to do it, we’ll be there. Make sure you make the fans aware of it because we want them all there in full throng."
