Why did the Broncos play without a quarterback? Where the NFL stands in its COVID-19 battle, what's next

The NFL is just silly right now. Everywhere you turn, the COVID-19 pandemic is imposing events that almost never happen.

The Denver Broncos became the first team to start a non-quarterback at the position since 1965, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, but only after the NFL denied their request to activate an assistant coach for the role (seriously). The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens remain on pace to play the fourth Tuesday night game in NFL history, two of which would have been played this season.
