The difference between BAL-PIT and NO-DEN is related to contact tracing.
The NFL is prioritizing its need/desire to play out its current schedule over competition issues. If medical committee feels playing game is safe, the NFL will move games and teams around as needed.

The extent of the BAL outbreak is still unknown.
If Ravens can get to 48 hours of negative tests and contact tracing suggests no ongoing high-risk exposures, the game will be played within the Week 12 schedule – with as much as 1/3 of the Ravens isolated or quarantined.

DEN has a single asymptomatic positive and low number of high-risk close contacts. They have 48 hrs of negative tests. Driskel’s positive test was Thurs.
Striking to see entire position group out, but if no ongoing positive tests – the game will be played as scheduled.

I'm not arguing for or against the NFL plan.
But the decision-making on BAL-PIT and NO-DEN is consistent w/ their COVID protocols and reflects NFL's clear objectives to minimize future scheduling nightmares and finish season on time.
