The 2020 NFL season will certainly be remembered by fans and players alike as a football season like no other. Empty stadiums, absent fans, shortened season, and of course the innumerable COVID-19 protocols, it’s been one crazy ride. A year ago, no one would have seen this kind of post-apocalyptic season on the horizon.

But to their credit, the league has managed to create some sort of bubble around the coaches and players with regular testing and heightened safety protocols. We are approaching the halfway stage of the regular season this weekend. But more importantly, it’s trick-or-treating time in America and NFL teams are ready to jump on the Halloween bandwagon, in observance of social distancing guidelines of course.
