As the number of new crown diagnoses in the United States is increasing, NFL has been more affected in the last two weeks.

The Baltimore Ravens’ game against Pittsburgh Steelers has been delayed twice, and the crows will be without 10 starters, while Denver Broncos will not be able to play all quarterbacks against New Orleans Saints.

The league is now considering whether to take the most active measures to prevent such a situation in the playoffs.

NFL officials are actively discussing the creation of a “local exclusion zone” for 14 or 16 teams entering the playoffs – to isolate all team members in hotels, not to leave the hotel unless they are back and forth from the team base, and to enforce stringent measures to limit access to players, coaches, and team staff.

Given the size of the NFL team lineup and the number of team staff, the establishment of a playoff zone is considered to be a more feasible option than the establishment of 32 separate exclusion zones for the rest of the regular season or a large exclusion zone like the NBA and NHL playoffs jerseys online.

The NFL has yet to make a final decision, and the quarantine plan must be approved by the players’ Union. However, the zone of separation scheme does have disadvantages.

Since everyone needs to be tested for new coronavirus and other epidemic prevention processes, the quarantine area will take about a week to establish. At the same time, there will still be people going in and out of the quarantine area. If there are confirmed cases in the quarantine area, the possibility of an outbreak in the quarantine area will also increase sharply – a concern that Dr. Allen sills, the alliance’s chief medical officer, has expressed publicly in recent months

The league and the players’ Union have recently implemented several measures to reduce the impact of the new crown on the market sales of cheap jerseys. The team was asked to close the base on Monday and Tuesday. During the game, no players who are about to be replaced or wearing helmets are required to wear masks. And the number of teams away from home has also been asked to reduce.

The NFL is also considering adding the 18th week regular season. It’s not ideal – an extra week between the regular season and the playoffs, with games that have to be rescheduled because of the new crown. If two teams with no playoff prospects need to reschedule the game, the game may not be changed to week 18. The initial plan is to add an extra week if it’s only related to whether the team can make it to the playoffs.

The NFL still hopes to hold all 256 regular season games. It’s possible to increase the number of playoff teams from 14 to 16 teams only if there’s no way to play all the games.

But in any case, NFL needs to keep a close eye on the epidemic every day and every week.
