The 2020 season has produced numerous obstacles and hurdles as the NFL attempts to finish a complete regular season.
It also will provide for an oddity that has never before happened for the NFL:
After Friday’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints, the league will officially have a regular season that sees games played every day of the week.
Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday games are commonplace. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to some quick fixes on the schedule.
The shifts led to there a rare Tuesday game when the Tennessee Titans beat the Buffalo Bills 42-16. There was a second Tuesday game between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys.
The Wednesday game took place then the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers got together, each due to COVID-19 complications.
Add in Friday’s game and there you have it, the NFL will have played at least one game on every day of the week this year.
