No names mentioned. Or degree of sickness. But these types of illnesses tend to ripple through teams.

Just another distraction for the steelers, who continue to be road warriors. In case you are thinking could this be a trick, I'd expect that from BB, but not from the steelers brain trust.

If you like NE, just another reason to like them. If you like Pitt, I wish you the best.

BOL to all. :toast:

"A wicked flu bug has swept through the Steelers’ facility this week, causing five players to miss practice. Wide receiver Cobi Hamilton estimated as many as 15 Pittsburgh players have been affected by the illness, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

“I’m just thankful that I’ve stayed out of the line of fire,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Thursday, via ESPN.com. “We’re not making excuses. There won’t be. We’ll be there, we’ll be ready to play. This is just part of normal things that happen over the course of a season.

” Wide receiver Darrius Hewyard-Bey, kicker Chris Boswell, center B.J. Finney and quarterback Zach Mettenberger all missed practice Wednesday because of illness, and tight end Ladarius Green sat out Thursday’s session, according to the Steelers. Heyward-Bey, Boswell, Finney and Mettenberger all were back on the practice field Thursday.

Doesn't really change anything other than I can get better odds on Steelers ML.

Packers have it too. Including aaron rodgers. And I doubt it will effect him much. They all take ivs to make them feel ready to go

Looks like a tough task for the road teams if both teams have the flu. Aaron rodgers winks at the reporters and tells them he will be fine with some rest and fluids
