“I can’t promise you that you’re not going to get infected. … I got infected,” “Be patient, man. Be patient. Fellas, this year is not like any year we’ve had in the National Football League,” Lynn goes on to say. “There’s going to be chaos. It’s going to be change and it’s going to come every single day. The goals, the objectives, will not change. “I’ve talked to some people who said they’re sick of this virus. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Let me tell you something, you aren’t promised next year. You aren’t promised tomorrow. What I want to do is I want to limit your exposures.
“But when that whistle blows, let’s go kick somebody’s ass and play some football. One team will do this better than the other 31. Trust me. It might as well be us. So, be ready for chaos. Embrace it. Because if we’re going to play, the team that handles this thing the best is going to have the best chance of winning that trophy.”
