NFL players test positive for COVID-19, multiple week 4 games postponed

Steelers vs. Titans, Patriots vs. Chiefs games postponed after players from several teams test positive for coronavirus; Fox Sports NFL reporter Jen Hale with an update.

Things went from bad to worse for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Even though the Dak Prescott-led offense gained 566 total yards, and put up 38 points, the Cowboys defense gave up 307 rushing yards to the Browns in a 49-38 loss. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence wasn’t happy with the defense’s performance and was very blunt after the game.

“We got to hold ourselves to a higher standard,” Lawrence said, according to The Athletic. “We got to play together as one. And I don’t feel like we are holding ourselves accountable, including myself. So, I call the s--t soft, and we will get better from it.”

Head coach Mike McCarthy is in his first year at the helm for the Cowboys, and he brought Mike Nolan to run the defense, which is among the worst in all of football. Currently, the Cowboys’ defense is second in total yards allowed (1,722), second in rushing yards allowed per game (172.5), and first in points allowed per game (36.5).

Lawrence wasn’t interested in talking about the team’s scheme after the game.

“It’s not my job to worry about scheme or worry about where the next man is going,” Lawrence said. “I already have a hard enough job myself. It’s all about just attacking, and I don’t feel like we are doing that at all as a unit.”
