Commanders’ Ron Rivera ‘not worried’ about job security after Thanksgiving loss vs. Cowboys

L.Thompson3 months ago

Ron Rivera said he’s “not worried” about his job security following the Washington Commanders’ Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. Here’s what you need to know:

  • The Commanders coach responded to a reporter’s question on the topic after the 45-10 drubbing , saying, “I’ve told you before, I’m not worried about it. I’m gonna just do my job and see how things go. That’s the only thing I can do.”
  • Washington defensive tackle Jonathan Allen said the team isn’t “getting the job done,” while wide receiver Terry McLaurin called the losses “frustrating.”
  • The Commanders are 4-8, losing three straight games and five of their last six matchups.
  • What else players said

    Allen, asked about possible coaching changes, said, “At the end of the day, in the NFL , you have to do your job.”

    “And as players, we’re not getting the job done,” he continued. “As coaches, we’re not getting the job done. So I don’t think any of us are getting the job done. So for me, I’m looking at myself. What can I do to be better? What can I do to help these guys win? And everyone has to do that for themselves.”

    McLaurin said the string of losses isn’t a good feeling, adding “I don’t know” when asked about possible staff moves.

    “I think (Josh) Harris and the ownership group will handle that if that needs to be handled,” McLaurin said. “But as far as I’m concerned, I’m just gonna try and take these few days to get my mind and my body right, and come back ready to practice hard on Tuesday and get ready for another tough opponent in Miami.”
