Which NFL Games Are Postponed This Week?

The NFL has postponed two games this week in the wake of positive COVID-19 tests within the Tennessee Titans organization.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is postponing games this week because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The postponements come after a number of players tested positive for the virus and after one player died from it.

The NFL is postponing two games that were scheduled for this week: the New England Patriots at the Denver Broncos, and the San Francisco 49ers at the Green Bay Packers. The league is also rescheduling the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens to a later date.

These postponements come as a result of positive COVID-19 tests on several players, including New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and Denver Broncos offensive tackle Elijah Wilkinson. One NFL player, Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Nat Berhe, has died from the virus.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Denver Broncos

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are scheduled to play the Denver Broncos at 4:05 pm EST on Sunday, October 8th. However, due to the looming threat of Hurricane Matthew, the NFL has decided to postponed this game. A new date and time has not yet been announced.

New England Patriots at Kansas City Chiefs

The New England Patriots at Kansas City Chiefs game has been postponed from Sunday, October 18th to Monday, October 19th due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Patriots organization. The game will still be played at Arrowhead Stadium and broadcast on ESPN at 8:15pm EST.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers

The New Orleans Saints are set to take on the Carolina Panthers this week, but the game has been postponed due to Covid-19 concerns within the Saints organization. This is just one of several games that have been postponed or rescheduled due to positive Covid-19 tests within NFL organizations.

The other games that have been affected are:
-Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
-Denver Broncos at New York Jets
-Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
-Houston Texans at Pittsburgh Steelers

It is unclear at this time when these games will be rescheduled, but it is possible that they will be played on different days or weeks in order to minimize the risk of further covid-19 outbreaks within the NFL.

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers

This game was originally scheduled for Thursday, November 5th, but has been postponed until Sunday, November 8th due to positive COVID-19 tests within the 49ers organization.

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks’ Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals has been postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Seahawks organization, the NFL announced on Wednesday.

The game, which was originally scheduled for Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET, will now be played on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 8:20 p.m. ET.

“The decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure that the game would be played in a safe and healthy environment for both teams and all those in attendance,” the NFL said in a statement. “The Seahawks Players Association has been informed of the decision and players have been directed to stay home and await further instructions.”

This is the second time this season that a Seahawks game has been postponed due to COVID-19. The team’s Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings was also delayed due to positive tests within the Seahawks organization.

Los Angeles Rams at Miami Dolphins

The game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Miami Dolphins, originally scheduled for Sunday, November 1 at Hard Rock Stadium, has been postponed until later in the season due to concerns about the COVID-19 virus.

The NFL made the decision to postpone the game after consulting with medical experts, including the league’s Infectious Disease Advisors Committee. The health and safety of players, team personnel and fans is always the top priority of the NFL.

This is the second time this season that a game has been postponed due to concerns about COVID-19. The game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, originally scheduled for October 11, was postponed until November 28.
