The NBA is changing some rules to help teams deal with the rising number of COVID-19 cases. Replacement players can now be signed to fill roster gaps created when players are assigned to the COVID list, and players on two-way contracts will be allowed to take part in more NBA games than the usual limit of 50.
NFL
Yesterday…
• The Detroit Lions stunned the Arizona Cardinals 30-12. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, and Craig Reynolds rushed for 112 yards.
• The Green Bay Packers held off the Baltimore Ravens 31-30. The Ravens scored a touchdown with 42 seconds remaining to pull within a point. Instead of kicking an extra point to force overtime, they tried a two-point conversion to win the game, and failed. Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes.
• The Saints blanked the Buccaneers 9-0 in last night’s contest.
Tonight, there’s a doubleheader. The Las Vegas Raiders visit the Cleveland Browns for a 5:00 contest – that game was delayed from Saturday because of COVID-19 concerns. In the regular Monday night game, the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings. Hear both games on 99.3 The Lift.
Two of yesterday’s NFL games were postponed. The contests between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams, and the Washington Football Team and Philadelphia Eagles have been moved to tomorrow night because of COVID-19 issues.
