Chiefs could play marathon schedule if Week 4 vs. Patriots is played on Tuesday

The Kansas City Chiefs could be subjected to playing three games in a 10-day span.

The Kansas City Chiefs could be forced to play a marathon of a schedule in light of the postponement of Week 4 vs. the New England Patriots.

The NFL has targeted a Monday or Tuesday night rescheduling for the Week 4 tilt between the Patriots and the Chiefs according to their press release. This comes with the assumption that there are no more positive tests between now and then. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has since reported that Tuesday is the more likely scenario for the rescheduling of this game.

If the game is played on Tuesday, the Chiefs would play a total of three games in the span of 10 days. Here is what the schedule would look like for Kansas City:

  • Tuesday, Oct. 6 vs. Patriots
  • Four days rest
  • Sunday, Oct. 11 vs. Raiders
  • Three days rest
  • Thursday, Oct. 15 at Bills

Obviously, the concern for the Chiefs would then become players having adequate time between games to rehab and recover. It’s tough as it is playing two games on a short week, but three games in such a short span could be dangerous. The only thing that might help in this scenario would be that the first two games take place at Arrowhead Stadium, so the team won’t have to waste any time on travel days.

It doesn’t seem likely that the NFL would reschedule any of the other games even in light of this news. If they see it as a problem, it’s possible they could push the Week 6 game between the Bills and Chiefs to Sunday. The determining factor in all of this, however, is whether Kansas City or New England turn up additional positive tests in the coming days.

Man runs the length of a marathon on a 23-foot balcony during coronavirus lockdown

Just … wow.

In hopes of limiting the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, countries across the globe have instituted lockdowns.

People who live in China, Italy, France and Spain — to name a few — along with several U.S. states have been required to remain indoors. But in order to stay sharp as a competitive runner, French restaurant worker Elisha Nochomovitz decided to run a marathon on his 23-foot balcony in Balma, France.

The 32-year-old Nochomovitz did so by running around 3,000 laps — back and forth — on his balcony to reach the 26.2-mile distance. He has competed in 36 marathons, but Nochomovitz told CNN that the balcony marathon was by far the most challenging.

Nochomovitz completed the marathon attempt in just under seven hours (6:48). The constant changing of directions and the struggle to maintain a pace with just 23 feet to work with had a significant impact on that time. But still, what an effort.

He said via CNN:

“My only pleasure is running, no matter what the time.”

Nochomovitz added that he dedicated his marathon to the health workers trying to fight the pandemic in France.
