Several NFL teams had their weekends disrupted by false positive COVID-19 tests that the league traced to the same New Jersey BioReference laboratory.
The Bears had nine positive tests from players and coaches that turned out to be false positives. And according to reports around the league, the Jets, Vikings, Steelers, Bills, Browns, Packers, Eagles, Lions, Patriots and Giants also had spikes in positive tests, with many confirming Sunday afternoon they were false positives.
The NFL had the lab examine 77 positive tests from 11 teams, and all came back negative upon retesting.
