Just hours ahead of their Week 13 primetime matchup against the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs have avoided a potentially disastrous health scare.

According to FOX NFL Sunday’s Jay Glazer, the defending Super Bowl champions were alerted of seven positive COVID-19 tests in the early morning hours on Sunday, all seven of which later came back as false-positives after five hours of contact tracing and re-testing. The results were impacted by a lab processing error.
