Talk about dead legs - fredtoast - 10-02-2015
Ravens and Steelers had less than 100 hours to recover from their games on Sunday before they played tonight. I can't believe the players union allows this. I guess everyone agrees because they get a little more money.
And then they have to go into overtime. Those two teams beat hard on each other. This game may have a toll on them beyond this next week.
It is like a pitcher in baseball. A good starter can throw 100 pitches every 5 days all summer long. But if you push him past a certain threshold in just one game, even if it is only by 20 or 30 pitches. it can mess him up for weeks.

I was expecting this be about the Steelers (hopefully) ex-kicker Scobee.

Yeah they will be tired .
Vick took some hits too. He will be sore.

and Bell and Forsett ran forever in that game. They're going to need the long rest.

The short rest seems to effect the defensive line the most. I mean when was the last time both teams gave up a 100 yard rusher in that series.
