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.'

The sixth week of the NFL got off without a hitch even as reports of positive coronavirus tests ran rampant about the league in the days leading up to Sunday’s slate.

The New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons both picked up their first wins of the 2020 season while the New York Jets remained the only winless team in the league after getting shellacked by the Miami Dolphins.

 

The Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks were all on bye weeks.

Fans will be treated to two Monday night games with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Arizona Cardinals.

Here’s how the games shook out.
