Charissa Thompson on where NFL teams with positive COVID-19 tests stand
'The NFL is not immune to COVID,' Fox Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson tells 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'
Cam Newton and the New England Patriots head into their Week 8 showdown with the Buffalo Bills as the third-best team in the AFC East, a division the Patriots have dominated for the large majority of 20 years.
As the successor of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, Newton has led New England to an underwhelming 2-4 record, which includes three-straight losses to the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. The Patriots are in a must-win situation when they travel to Buffalo to face the Bills on Sunday.
