FILE - Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo addresses the media during a news conference at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., in this Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020, file photo. โThat game," Brady said Monday, โis one of my least favorite football memories.โHe hopes he can reflect on Sunday with a bit more joy.

It also will be a rematch of a game earlier this season, when once more Spagnuolo kept Brady off balance as Kansas City coasted to a 27-24 victory in Tampa Bay.

Chiefs-Patriots game off after Newton positive for COVID-19
โ The NFL postponed this weekโs game between New England and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs after โpositive COVID-19 tests on both teams.โ Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Taโamu were both added to the NFLโs COVID-19 reserve list released on Saturday afternoon. It is the second game this weekend that has been affected by COVID-19. After an outbreak on the Titans, the matchup between Pittsburgh and Tennessee was postponed โ originally for a day or two, and then until Oct. 25 as the positive tests accumulated. But if a player tests positive and is asymptomatic, he can return 10 days after the initial positive test or just five days if he has two consecutive negative tests. I think we all knew at some point we might get some positive tests.
