Ron Rivera said that the speech that Dwayne Haskins gave was a "ruckus" of a speech. Ruckus is of course being used positively

Fabian Moreau on Haskins' halftime speech: "He just basically got everybody riled up and put everyone on his back. Like a leader, he stepped up and gave a speech and everyone felt it, it was strong and it helped us."

With the Washington Football Team down 17-7 at the half, and not many things going in their direction, quarterback Dwayne Haskins stepped up in front of his teammates in the locker room and reportedly gave an impassioned speech that sparked some emotions and got the team ready to get back on the field.
It apparently worked, as Washington came out of the half and completed their 17-point comeback, scoring 27-unanswered to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, their division rivals.
One of the biggest questions about Haskins so far in his career is about his leadership ability, and that’s something that he has been working hard on this offseason, trying to take control of the team and lead them to success. If Week 1 is any indication of how that went, Washington is now in good hands with both Haskins and Ron Rivera.
