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.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson was trying to gain an advantage in the team’s game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
With a little more than 2 minutes to go in the game, Jackson kicked the football back from where the referees initially spotted it, so the 49ers were a few more inches away from the end zone. The officiating crew was discussing where to line up the ball, so Jackson was just helping them with the decision.

The football was at the Eagles' 1-yard-line, and they were clinging onto an 11-point lead. The 49ers ended up scoring when running back Jerick McKinnon plunged into the endzone, but the Eagles came away with a 25-20 victory over the Niners in San Francisco.
