The Pittsburgh Steelers opted to stand for the national anthem on Sunday, Oct. 1, in a Baltimore against the Ravens.

Last week, the Steelers stoked controversy by staying in the stadium tunnel as the anthem played. The lone player to stand outside the tunnel, hand over heart, was offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva.
