Socially Distanced Defensive Play Leads to High Scores

Here we go again fanatics! In a year where everything we are comfortable and familiar with has been turned upside down, it is nice to return to following our favorite teams and players in the NFL. But even our most hallowed of sports is not immune to the precautions that must be implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19. For example, players will attempt to navigate a series of protocols intended to keep them safe including a tiered system of access to buildings and a series of tests that will be standardized across the league. Coaches will have to be creative in preparing their teams to function as a unit and be ready for full contact competition while attempting to maintain physical distance as much as possible in practice and team meetings. Games will be played in empty stadiums, essentially negating home field advantage at least as the season begins. These are truly unprecedented times. But we will get through this. An exciting football season may be exactly what the Nation needs right now. So, although we can't attend the games in person, we can still fire up the big screen and follow our boys in HD. It should be interesting. Mask up, wash your hands, and ensure your living room seating is at least 6 feet apart because the NFL is back!
