The rainy conditions at M&T Bank Stadium even affected the folks at home watching Saturday’s Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens game.
While staying inside and watching this AFC North battle on television seemed much more enjoyable than sitting in the cold Baltimore rain, the ESPN game crew couldn’t avoid blurry camerawork because of the rain.
Instead of getting the typically pristine game presentation we’re used to from ESPN, a fuzzy game feed made the Steelers-Ravens game a bit hard to see at times because of the rain.
We’re not camera experts or anything, but someone needs to wipe those camera lens down!
Najee punches it in for 6!@steelers take the lead as they try to keep their playoff chances alive in Baltimore.

While Saturday’s game didn’t really matter much to the Ravens (who hold the AFC’s top seed), it was a critical game for the Steelers as they tried to notch one of the AFC wild-card spots.
It wasn’t an easy game to play in because of the rain, and even NFL fans watching from their couches had a harder time watching how things played out.
