COVID-19 leads to NFL rescheduling 3 games
The COVID-19 outbreaks around the NFL have led to the league rescheduling 3 games in Week 15.
First up, the Las Vegas Raiders’ game at Cleveland, which was to be played Saturday will now go Monday.
Yes, a doubleheader on Monday!
Monday night doubleheader:
🏈Raiders at Browns, 5 pm
🏈Vikings at Bears, 8:20 pm— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 17, 2021
The other games in question are the Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams and Washington Football Team at Philadelphia Eagles.
The Washington Football Team will play Philadelphia at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
The Rams will play host to the Seahawks, kickoff time 7 p.m. ET.
Seahawks at Rams, and WFT at Eagles both are now expected to be rescheduled for Tuesday, per sources.
If the postponed games had been cancelled, players would not have gotten paid for the week.

I pay my player dues just to get lied to and the rules bent! @NFL @NFLPA
If it was the other way around I swear we would be playing tomorrow
