Fangio: We all knew NFL season would be jumbled by COVID-19

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Vic Fangio doesn't subscribe to the notion the Denver Broncos are getting a raw deal because the NFL postponed their game at New England because of the Patriots' COVID-19 infections.

When the league pushed the game back from Sunday to Monday afternoon, defensive end Shelby Harris tweeted his disagreement with the decision, asking, ''Why are we getting punished when we did nothing wrong? Pats go on a bye next week and we are stuck on a short week playing the Dolphins. Help it make sense.''

That's just life in 2020, Fangio said Friday, when he canceled practice.
