"Similar behavior occurred a week earlier after their win over the Chicago Bears, with only a select few team members seen in the background of those videos were wearing face coverings.

However, the Saints' win against the Bears was on Nov. 1. The latest NFL memo regarding the updated coronavirus protocol was released on Nov. 3.

"All players and staff must wear masks or double-layered gaiters in the locker room on gameday — prior to the game, during halftime, and post-game," the updated memo read."

The Saints screwed up by ignoring the new mandate. No one to blame but themselves. And it all should fall on Payton.

I agree with this even though it seems apparent that the 'Rona isn't as bad as we were told.
