So I haven't kept up with it that much, but why don't the Ravens have to just play with backups? Is the league claiming they wouldn't have enough people to field a team? Or is it actually because Jackson is a league darling?
I mean, the league has to know they can't just keep moving these things back forever. What if the Cowboys now had some cases before Monday, what would they do?

A lot of people seem to be wondering the same thing. It's one thing to move it from a short week to Sunday, but to move it two additional times to a Wednesday?
Kind of fishy when they on the other hand make Denver play without a QB.

Right, so they wouldn't push it back for Denver...whose QBs were caught not wearing masks, possibly risking exposure.
But they will push it back for Baltimore, whose team now has 18+ who WERE exposed and DO have the virus.
At some point someone on the Ravens broke protocol, so the league should give them the same damn mandate. Find a way to play.
The Broncos should be livid.

I think the Broncos mgmt was offered a postponement, but they are #teamtank.
“Oh, that’s okay. We’ll play without a QB.”

Sadly I think the league looked at the Broncos, said rhey aren't a playoff team, so screw them.

Plus they aren't one of the beloved teams like the Ravens, Steelers or Packers

Because the Steelers would otherwise have like 3 days to prepare for that game since they thought it was a good idea to move Ravens-Steelers to Wednesday.
