    The HBO NFL Films reality show is covering two teams, the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, for the first time this year. On the opening episode, Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn revealed he had tested positive for coronavirus. "This year is not like any year we've ever had in the National Football League," Lynn said. "I can't promise you you're not gonna get infected. I got infected." ALSO: NFL Films is trying to represent what the entire NFL is trying to accomplish with coronavirus procedures.
