As the Washington Commanders fall to 1-1 after losing to the Detroit Lions, there are some who believe defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio's job could be in jeopardy. But what head coach Ron Rivera had to say to the media on Monday suggests otherwise. Where is the line between publicly challenging players, and throwing them under the bus? That is the line the Commanders' coaches find themselves walking just two weeks into the new season, and with the Philadelphia Eagles preparing to visit FedEx Field this weekend. Then, we discuss why Washington's ability to spread the ball in their passing game helps quarterback Carson Wentz and could be the key to getting back to winning football. Meanwhile, it turns out that giving up just four third-down conversions to Detroit directly led to the Commanders leaving the ranks of the NFL undefeated.
