Before we get too far, let’s acknowledge the obvious: there is no fair way to do this. In the wake of mass rescheduling this weekend, which was activated following a recent surge in COVID-19 cases across several teams, clubs were going to get a raw deal from a competitive standpoint. Some locker room was going to be left thumbing through social media, riding the momentary high of the latest NFL-hates-our-team conspiracy theory (turns out, the Raiders have plenty of practice).
The Browns, who have 24 players, 12 starters, both quarterbacks and almost half of their offensive line, will have their game against Las Vegas moved from Saturday to Monday.
