The NFL schedule received a bit of a shakeup Sunday afternoon.

The past couple of weeks have not been kind to the NFL starting with the COVID-19 outbreak inside the Tennessee Titans organization. That outbreak already caused a bit of a shakeup but was soon followed up by positive tests inside the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots.

The latest game to be impacted was the Week 5 matchup between the Patriots and the Denver Broncos. That game was postponed until Week 6, but that delay has now caused a shift in a number of different games on the NFL schedule.

NFL Insider Adam Schefter shared the announcement of the schedule changes from the NFL:

Hopefully these changes are nothing more than a temporary bump in the road as the NFL works to complete the schedule without further outbreaks.
