This news feels like it's setting the stage for a reduced or vacated punishment for the Ravens. We've never heard about how many strains of the virus affected any other team, so what difference should it make with Baltimore? I think we're going to see a statement like this from Goodell or Troy Vincent in the near future:
"Four of the most dangerous strains of COVID-19 attacked the Ravens facility without warning. Armed with only a 1/3 full container of Lysol wipes, quick thinking team employees were able defeat three of the strains. Brave members of the team allowed themselves to be infected by the fourth strain to prevent it from spreading any further. If not for the heroic actions of the Ravens organization, the city of Baltimore, nay, the entire eastern seaboard would have faced near-certain disaster. And, they were able to provide us with Wednesday afternoon football, which was pretty cool. For those reasons, I have decided to award the Baltimore Ravens an additional second round pick in the 2021 draft. We, as a league, can only hope to follow their shining example."
