Morning sports update: Adam Schefter explained why NFL ‘investigation’ of Patriots is different than Titans

The Patriots are headed to Kansas City to play the Chiefs tonight at 7:10 p.m. The game was originally supposed to be played on Sunday, but was delayed due to positive COVID-19 tests from both teams (New England’s was quarterback Cam Newton).

After multiple days of no further positive tests, the NFL is going ahead with the game as a Week 4 matchup.

“Per a league source,” wrote Florio, “the NFL promptly launched an investigation into whether the Patriots complied with all relevant protocols, after news of quarterback Cam Newton‘s positive test emerged.
