The NFL just informed clubs that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will FORFEIT and be credited with a loss for playoff seeding, per sources.
Massive implications.
Heres more from todays memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players/staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow.

Teams can encourage, cajole, force by withholding playing time, players to both get vaxxed & be careful.
If the teams choose not to take appropriate actions, let them suffer the potential economic pain by taking an unnecessary "L".
I don't even think they should make any effort to reschedule! Why should the team that's ok be inconvenienced? Give them the " W" and save the players some wear & tear.
