Analysis: NFL will play games after support/pressure applied

Call it support. Call it pressure. However you describe it, the NFL is going to get it regarding playing games on schedule.

And barring a setback in the reopening of America during the coronavirus pandemic, the show will go on.

Wisely, the NFL has taken baby steps toward some sort of normalcy. It has moved slowly in allowing a small number of team personnel to return to club facilities. It essentially has barred travel by team and league personnel, while able to remotely conduct the business of the sport: free agency, the draft, owners meetings.

Conducting offseason workout programs virtually isn't ideal, but it's been worthwhile.
