The Commanders have dealt with numerous off-the-field events. NBC’s Mike Tirico feels head coach Ron Rivera has done an excellent job keeping them at bay.
Rivera's ability to prevent the organization's off-the-field distractions from impacting the locker room has gone a long way. In 2020, the team was able to rally around its head coach and earn an improbable NFC East title -- one of the best storylines in the NFL that season.
"It's my job. People make a big deal about the adversity the Commanders have been facing, but at the end of the day, we're professional athletes, and we get paid to play football," Allen said Monday."That's what I'm going to do - no matter how much adversity we deal with off the field. I'm not going to let it affect me on the field."
For as good of a job as Rivera's done handling Washington's off-the-field distractions, Tirico says the head coach knows he must start to produce results.
