Washington Commanders fire defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer after 45-10 Thanksgiving thrashing against the Cowboys

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio following the team's Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys .

The Commanders were dealt a 45-10 blow at the hands of the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium Thursday, which saw them slip to 4-8.

Amid a woeful season, the loss appeared to be the final straw for Rivera as the team announced the firing of Del Rio, alongside defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer.


'Today I relieved Jack Del Rio and Brent Vieselmeyer of their duties,' River confirmed in a statement Friday. 'I appreciate all that they have contributed to the organization over the past four seasons and wish them all the best going forward.'
