NFL Teams Might Have To Forfeit If There's A COVID Outbreak

The league has outlined consequences for teams with unvaccinated players causing outbreaks. If a game is canceled due to such an outbreak and cannot be rescheduled, the team responsible will forfeit, and the opposing team will win. Players from both teams will not be paid, and the team causing the outbreak must cover financial losses. The league does not plan to extend the season to accommodate rescheduling.
