FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - Fans were stunned by the news that New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton tested positive for the coronavirus.
Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs was postponed and the team put out a statement saying one of their players tested positive for COVID-19. Fans outside of Gillette Stadium couldn’t believe the news.
“I was shocked. I could not believe it. I cried, I collapsed,” one fan said.
Another said he was just disappointed.
“Kind of bummed out for the team,” he said. “Hope he recovers quickly.”
Some said the team should play this week but other fans believe they will be at a competitive disadvantage without their star quarterback.
