A rise in NFL COVID-19 cases has a lot of coaches, players, and fans wondering if they will make it through the season.

After starting QB for the New England Patriots tested positive last week, teammate and star CB has tested positive this week. Additionally, two more Titans test positive this week after they had two positive tests last week as well. Chief medical officer, Dr. Allen Stills, explained how tough the virus is to stop, even if they continue to follow protocols and add new ones.

The NFL was thrown into a scramble last week when they had to postpone the Steelers vs. Titans game and the Chiefs vs. Patriots game. The NFLs decision to not do a bubble (similar to the NBA playoffs) or in some sort of closed community has made it even harder to reduce the risk of infection.

David Canter, agent to over 2 dozen N.F.L. players, thinks that a bubble would be the best option. “Once players go home or walk into Chipotle or go to their chiropractor, they are at risk because COVID is everywhere,” he says.

Even with the cases starting to kick up, some NFL stadiums are letting a select amount of their fans in. The Steelers, , Buccaneers, and Panthers are the newest teams to allow a small amount of their fans in after originally deciding to not have any at the start of the season.

This article is very important to those that are involved in watching NFL, betting on sports, or NFL fantasy. This is important information because it shows that the NFL might not make it much longer if they don’t decide to make some changes.
