The National Football League has handled COVID-19 worse than any other professional sports league in America.
Since the NFL began its COVID-19 testing on Aug. 1, the league has seen 117 positive tests among players and personnel. No other major sports league saw a number that high in a similar time frame. The NFL had one advantage in preparing for a season amid COVID-19 — time.
The NFL had time to see how the NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLS and MLB dealt with COVID-19. The NBA, WNBA and NHL resorted to the bubble method where players and personnel stayed in the same restricted area to ensure safety.
