The National Football League’s Week 2 of its schedule again saw teams staying off the field when thewas played, continuing the pattern seen in last week’s openers.
Similarly, the Detroit Lions were caught heading toward their locker room when the anthem started. About 20 of the Lions turned and faced the flag from their end zone, with several kneeling. Both the Cowboys and their opponents, the Atlanta Falcons, also had to scramble when the anthem started unexpectedly.games, veteran New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who created a storm of controversy by saying he would not kneel because he didn’t want to disrespect the flag or military, stood during the national anthem. But he wore a t-shirt during warmups that said “Say Her Name,” a reference to the police shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky.
The Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins elected to stay inside during the anthem. There were 18 teams involved in the NFL’s early games on Sunday.
