Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski tests positive for coronavirus
5 years ago - Sportingbase
According to Adam Maya of nfl.com, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has tested positive for coronavirus. Now, other NFL head coaches have tested positive in the last year. The list includes Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson, and New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. However, Payton and Pederson tested positive during the NFL offseason. Stefanski tested positive only a few days before he was about to coach the biggest game of his life. He is one of five Browns who currently have coronavirus.
The Browns are about to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth of six wildcard games this weekend. The game is scheduled for Sunday night. However, if the coronavirus spread among the Browns does not stop soon, the National Football League might be forced to once again juggle their schedule. In addition to Stefanski, Ravens Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio, wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, and two other coaches tested positive. Once again, the National Football League is releasing the names of players who tested positive, but not all of the names of coaches, which is ridiculous. All five will miss Sunday’s game.

The Browns played the Steelers tough this past Sunday, and in the process came away with a narrow 24-22 victory. In the process, Cleveland clinched a playoff spot with a win. However, the Steelers had already clinched first in the AFC North, and decided to rest Ben Roethlisberger. Mason Rudolph (Eugenie Bouchard’s boyfriend) showed flashes of brilliance, but simply does not have the experience that Roethlisberger has. The Steelers showed signs of shakiness down the stretch, and has underachieved against weaker opponents this season, but the coronavirus outbreak among the Browns is a clear reason why the Steelers are four-point favourites.
