First, there was a massive name-change controversy followed by a sexual harassment scandal. Then came a cancer diagnosis. As if things couldn’t get harder or more serious, Rivera had to battle cancer? Sadly, that’s the reality the first-year boss in Washington has to deal with, and yet, he didn’t miss a single game. Practices? Yes, but that was limited.
Finally, there was some good news. The day after beating Dallas and at the start of the bye week, Rivera completed his initial cancer care.
“It was surreal to know that I’ve completed my treatments,” he said. “Obviously, now it’s about recovery. Now it’s about medicine doing, finishing up its job. That’s what you pray for and you hope for.”
Rivera pointed out the bye week came at the perfect time for him because he was able to relax his body and mind a little and recharge the batteries from what he has endured.
“So far things have been good,” he said. “I’ll continue to pray and continue to do the things that the doctors tell me.”

Never a quiet time for WFT
The dust never settles around the Washington Football Team.
Bargains can be valuable additions
Raise your hand if you muttered derisively last offseason when the Washington Football Team signed free-agent tight end Logan Thomas away from the Detroit Lions.
