With Cleveland, Los Angeles and Washington all dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks, the NFL has decided that it’ll make a few changes to the Week 15 schedule.
The league is currently working on moving the Browns-Raiders, Rams-Seahawks and Eagles-Washington games. This isn’t that surprising considering the NFLPA is applying pressure on the NFL to move these games.
While the NFL has tried its hardest to keep its original schedule intact, the sheer number of positive tests being reported right now across the league is concerning.
NFL’s working on moving all three of the games—Raiders/Browns, Seahawks/Rams and Eagles/Washington—right now. No other games would be affected.

Moving around games at this stage in the season isn’t ideal to say the least. It could also lead to a ton of backlash from the teams that aren’t dealing with an outbreak.
Hopefully, the NFL can clear this hurdle and get back on schedule.
