The Lions and Packers are both off this weekend.
The Vikings visit the Seahawks in tonight’s contest. Coverage begins at 7:30 on 99.3 The Lift.
Neither the Titans nor the Patriots reported any new COVID-19 positives yesterday, and both teams returned to their facilities to prepare for upcoming games. The Patriots’ game against the Broncos has been moved to tomorrow, and will start at 5:00. The Titans’ match against the Bills is still scheduled for Tuesday.
If the Bills do play Tuesday, their scheduled Thursday night game against the Chiefs will be moved back to next weekend. That will leave the league without a Thursday night contest next week.
