CLEVELAND – The Las Vegas Raiders were not happy about Monday night’s game being delayed 49 hours due to the Cleveland Browns’ COVID-19 issues.
Raiders linebacker K.J. Wright took to Twitter to say the game should have kicked off as scheduled or the Browns should have forfeited. Casey Hayward Jr wondered if Browns center JC Tretter being the NFLPA president had something to do with negotiations to delay the game. And Raiders owner Mark Davis told ESPN.com the delay was a “competitive disadvantage” to his team, given that Las Vegas, off a long trip to Kansas City the previous week, was prepping for a short week and a cross-country trip to Cleveland but instead had a shift in schedule and now has a short week with a divisional game up next against the Broncos.
