The fullback position in the NFL has been fading for years, but only in the last decade has it neared the brink of total extinction.

Lost in the drama of the Chiefs’ comeback win over the Chargers last week was the fact that Kansas City, with its star quarterback and offensive-minded head coach, had five opportunities on third-and-short and converted just once.

The Titans' outbreak is now at 20 cases, with 18 positive tests returned since Tuesday with the addition of Blasingame to the COVID-19/Reserve list on Monday. The results from around the rest of the league come as the NFL postponed the Patriots' game at Kansas City to Monday night. Sunday marked the sixth straight day that at least one member of the Titans’ organization has had a positive test result return. Then outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen’s test result came back positive on Sept. 26, and he did not travel with the Titans to Minnesota. After the NFL postponed the Titans' game set for Sunday against Pittsburgh, the league rescheduled it for Week 7 on Oct. 25 during Tennessee's bye.
