New Orleans Saints Fullback Michael Burton has tested positive for Covid. The team found out after their flight landed in Detroit for Sunday's game

They're now re-testing Burton to check for false-positive and the players identified as being around Burton by the contact tracing bracelets the players are wearing.

Once again, America shows it only cares for the rich.

Why in the hell don't we all have those? Why aren't we all opting in to an app on our phones?

Okay, okay, many Americans wouldn't agree to being tracked all over the place (even though they already are by having a cell phone).

Because we listen to rich people when we decide how to vote. We've had the app framework for 6 months now, and usage is up to 10 states.

There are a LOT of points being scored. Has this been the most point-crazy season already? Because it has to be after this week. Every game is 30-something on one side, if not both!

Did you jinx it? I think you jinxed it!

(The 1:15pm kickoff games are low scoring so far)

Brady with another pick six today; is there something in the water in the Tampa area that negatively impacts vision and causes you to not recognize the jersey of the guy you're throwing at?

Cocaine?

No, thank you, I had a big lunch.

Brady now up to 4 TDs, he might be good. Considering the Bucs defense has looked really good this year, Herbert looks solid today.

The Tampa Brady's might be for real. He has had some very good throws and two of his very bad throws were bailed out by Evans and Gronk

TB12 doesn't need to win any MVP awards, he just has to manage the ball better than Jameis Winston and anything else is a bonus.

PS - This is what happens when Foles starts a game. Just imagine how much better Chicago would have done if Trubisky had started for the opening drive and then gotten pulled.

Well the Bucs play the Bears on TNF this next week, so both of these teams will get to continue those trajectories.

Thank you for handing the Cardinals an "L", Teddy.

Too bad the Giants couldn't do the same with the Rams. Rams being that weak against the Giants ought to count as a loss.

And Seattle needed a 4th quarter rally to put away the Dolphins.

AIYUK!

Man, the top receivers in this draft have all been good, aside from the two that have been hurt (Ruggs, Reagor).

Lamb, Jeudy, Jefferson, and Aiyuk. None of the teams that made those picks are regretting them so far.

Guys, are we good now?

Wentz avoiding sacks is the only reason Philly has any offense at all in this game.

Oof Mullens giving away the game.

Garoppolo can't come back soon enough.

What a stupid f*cking year this is

Wentz threw to several WR’s that shouldn’t be on any NFL team.

True, but also thrown against cornerbacks that shouldn't be either. Top 3 corners all inactive, practice squad corner that would have been a replacement is out, slot corner injured during the game. They had to sign Jamar Taylor off the couch literally 2 days ago and stick him on the field.

brb, going to head off to Wikipedia and replace the entire entry for "grading on a curve" with this exact text.

Pleasing to see ex-Giant, Odell Beckham Junior rush for 73 yards and a touchdown, while catching 5 passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns, against Dallas.

The Gettleman master plan continues to deliver for other teams

The Panthers actually looked ... pretty good Sunday.

Teddy made only one horribad throw (and got picked). Otherwise, the offense had some life. The D was really energized. Sunday was fun for the first time since the middle of last season. I'm not sure how much of that is the Panthers being good (maybe 40 percent) or the Cardinals playing a really bad game (60 percent at least; the Cards left guys wide open all day and Teddy had plenty of time to find them).

Is it too early to think 2021 draft? Then again, the Giants drafting has been less than stellar. Jury still out on Thomas and Jones. Ugh

It's too bad the NE-KC game wasn't pushed back to another week when Cam could play. I don't think anyone wants to watch Hoyer. As a Pats fan I can't even get excited about it. At least Stidham would have been interesting.

It's not feeling like the Patriots think Stidham is the QB of the future there.

I like how specific the tweet is: "HC and GM Bill O’Brien"

NO! Don't let competent coaching come to Houston!

I'd take his coaching way before I'd take his GMing.

Also, is it wrong to want him to go to Jacksonville? Because if it's wrong to want him to go to Jacksonville I don't want to want him to go to Jacksonville. Because then he'd be in Jacksonville.

Ahhh...now we just have to waste two or three years of DeShaun's career 'rebuilding.' Can we get Hopkins back? Arizona? Guys? It was an accident!

Why are you like this?

CBS really sucks. I wish the NFL would stop giving contracts to them until they make their streaming more user friendly. I'm already "paying" for them through cable but they want me to pay for "All access" to stream content. NBC, Fox, and ESPN no problems.

I'm sad Bill O'Brien got fired.

Because the Dolphins have the Texans' first and second round draft pick next year.

It is a trip being at this game right now. Arrowhead is always packed in a regular year, but there is no one around us tonight. Sanitizer everywhere, free masks, and ushers are enforcing mask wearing. Bathrooms are pristine.

It is a great night for football.

Yeah, that has got to be weird.

I know. I can't recall the last time I was ever in a clean bathroom at a sporting event.
