– The NFL postponed this week’s game between New England and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs after “positive COVID-19 tests on both teams.” Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list released on Saturday afternoon. It is the second game this weekend that has been affected by COVID-19. After an outbreak on the Titans, the matchup between Pittsburgh and Tennessee was postponed — originally for a day or two, and then until Oct. 25 as the positive tests accumulated. But if a player tests positive and is asymptomatic, he can return 10 days after the initial positive test or just five days if he has two consecutive negative tests. I think we all knew at some point we might get some positive tests.

That energy and getting to go out there in front of 75,000 people is amazing, but it ... brought me back at least to high school, junior college, college.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Could the start to the 2019 season have been any worse for the Jaguars?

Dealing with adversity: I pointed this out as one of the big keys to the Jaguars' season.
