What will the NFL do? (Covid and the SB)

BestFeature : 1/16/2021 5:34 pm
Say a SB QB gets Covid close enough to the game or just like half a team gets it (or come in contact with someone that got it), what will the NFL do? I know there will be precautions, they'll be in a bubble essentially for 2 weeks, but it's not impossible. They probably won't be able to move that game but they also won't want to have the Ma-homeless Chiefs play. I think they might even some fans for the SB too, right? The NFL will be between a rock and a hard place.
They’re gonna play the game

Imagine if it's the Chiefs and Packers and both Mahomes and Rodgers tested positive? I wonder if they'd let them play if they're asymptomatic since there will be no more season to worry about.
They should be vaccinated

Super Bowl. = Money. Do it like last year .... when the virus was here.

So yeah, it's gonna happen on that date, at that time.

Positive tests? Those will crop up the following Monday.
Absolutely, they will make them play as-is

This season, avoiding COVID is just as important as any other part of the game. It’s the players and teams responsibilities to make it happen.
They just played

I guess the question would then become does the NFL loosen their standards since that will be the last game of the season and have them play or if they'll keep the standards they've had all season.

Regular season is 256 games.
Well, it's in Tampa.

So I'm assuming fans will be in attendance. As for the game, it'll be played, come hell or high water. The NFL is all about $.
