The Washington Football Team won the NFC East division title on Sunday night, but it was head coach Ron Rivera who really can take a nice victory lap now that the regular season is over. To help him do so, the team gifted him with the game ball in the locker room after beating the Eagles, 20-14, on Sunday Night Football.
Coming to a tumultuous organization that went 3-13 the year before, and dealing with what he had to deal with, it’s remarkable that he was able to find any success this season in Washington.
But success was found, and now Washington will be going to the playoffs for the first time since 2015, where they will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and look to continue the tradition of 7-win teams trying to win a playoff game. It’s been done twice before in NFL history, and if Rivera has any say over it, Saturday will be a highly entertaining playoff game.
