The New England Patriots had a flight to catch Monday morning — and it came at the brief expense of some local commuters.
After their game against the Kansas City Chiefs was postponed until Monday night following the news of quarterback Cam Newton’s positive COVID-19 test over the weekend, the Patriots had to wait for the results of additional team-wide tests Monday morning before flying out to Kansas City. For some players, that meant a rare commute through the throes of Boston’s notorious weekday morning traffic.
Fortunately for them, they had some help.
