The

coronavirus pandemic

does not stop in the

United States

, which already exceeds 7,300,000 cases and 200,000 deaths, and continues to affect the main sports leagues in the country.

While the

NBA

'triumphs' with its

bubble at Disneyworld headquarters in Orlando

(Florida), the

NFL

decided this summer to celebrate its season as usual:

games every week and trips around the country

.

The only thing he had to modify his base was in the stands, where he has established a minimum capacity during games.

With this situation, this summer

many players decided to take the year in blank

and not appear on the football fields.

On the table, the fear of the virus and an agreement that many do not feel comfortable with and that does not support those who cause sick leave during the year.

In this way, with trips throughout the country, it was only a matter of time before the

NFL

faced an

outbreak of Covid-19

, as has happened, for example, in the Spanish soccer league.

The organization, which is conducting tests every week before and after the day, discovered an outbreak in the

Tennessee Titans

a couple of days ago

:

eight players and eight members

of the team's expedition tested positive after their match on Sunday against the

Minnesota Vikings

.

Some of them also suffered from high fevers.

Their meeting this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers has been postponed to the end of October, while the Vikings have been without training until Thursday and will face the

Houston Texans

tomorrow Sunday

.

The situation seemed more or less controlled with the negative results of the tests on the

Vikings

players

and the postponement of the

Titans-Steelers

, but the NFL has now found another open front: the

star quarterback of the New England Patriots Cam Newton.

has tested positive this Saturday, just one day before the main meeting of this day against the current champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.

In addition, the Chiefs' backup quarterback Jordan Ta'amu has also been infected.

A game that the NFL had marked in red, that could break the audience records for this course and that will now be played on another date and we will see if with or without Cam Newton.

All the players and coaches who have been in contact with the positives are in

quarantine

before knowing the test results, and the Patriots have

not yet traveled to Kansas City

to await the orders from the NFL.

The league has announced that the match will be held "on Monday or Tuesday" of next week.

Newton was being one of the best players of the season

, leading a Patriots who at the end of last year lost Tom Brady, their star for the last two decades.

The New England team had won two of its three games.
