Ron Rivera: "We have to get back to having fun. We're playing with house money. Nobody expected us to be here. These guys deserve it."

With a potential win in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Football Team has a chance to secure a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2015. If you follow this team even semi-closely, you already know this, but considering where this team has been, and where the 2020 season started, it’s pretty remarkable to realize where they are at now. After toting a 2-7 record at one point, Washington is one win away from the playoffs.
When you think about the giant turnaround that they’ve made, it’s pretty easy to be at least satisfied with the notion that Washington is on the right path towards success in the future. With that in mind, you can at least be comfortable with whatever happens this year, whether it means a playoff berth or not. Ron Rivera knows this, and he’s aware that no matter if they win or lose on Sunday against the Eagles, he can take the momentum that built this season and carry it into 2021, and start to build a successful program that can make their way into the postseason year after year.
When you consider it that way, you have nothing to lose on Sunday.
