As if playing football in a world pandemic wasn’t challenging enough, now the New England Patriots must monitor air quality prior to their Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks because of the fires tragically raging up and down the west coast.
Seattle Mariners games have been moved over concerns about air quality. The Patriots are still set to take on the Seahawks in Seattle, but if there’s any question about the conditions, then the easy choice would be to move the game. The Seahawks aren’t allowing fans in the stadium anyway, so moving the game to a neutral site wouldn’t be a significant disadvantage.
