The theme of the 12th week of the 2020 NFL season is luck and uncertainty.
More than ever, teams are dealing with coronavirus outbreaks on their squads, leaving some teams to be forced to bar players from team facilities. The Ravens had an outbreak that pushed their Thanksgiving game with the Steelers back to Sunday and then again to Tuesday. Lamar Jackson is among those who reportedly got COVID-19.
No games have been canceled or rescheduled even further just yet. But it still remains that COVID-19 is playing a major issue as the season heads into the winter months and into the playoffs.
The NFL ruled Saturday night that the Denver Broncos quarterbacks were all ineligible due to COVID-19 violations. The team will have to go with a practice squad wide receiver who has some experience as a quarterback.
Division races still need to be determined. Most first- and second-place teams are separated by a win or they are tied. The wild card races are even wilder than ever before.
There is a lot that is still yet to be decided which is why Week 12 is very important.
Read below for what’s cooking this week.
