Baker Mayfield is getting his wish — Cleveland’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday has been pushed back ’til Monday … after a crap ton of Browns players tested positive for COVID-19.
The league had been dragging its feet all week … insisting it would NOT move the schedule around — even with Baker, head coach Kevin Stefanski and a constantly growing list of players getting added to the COVID-19/reserve list.
But, with safety — and quality of play — becoming an even bigger issue if the Browns and Raiders took the field as planned, Roger Goodell made the decision to have the game go down on Monday.
There’s more — the Seahawks and Rams game is potentially moving to Tuesday … and the Washington Football Team and Philadelphia Eagles’ matchup could be moved as well.
As we previously reported, Mayfield was pissed with the league’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreaks this week … saying, “Make up your damn mind on protocols.”
Hopefully, this helps satisfy everyone involved.
