The Washington Commanders are under new leadership for the first time in a quarter century after a group led by Josh Harris closed on a $6.05 billion purchase of the franchise from ex-owner Dan Snyder.

Harris' predecessor's reign has been classified as "tumultuous," dysfunctional and being under fire, among other classifications. Needless to say, the change feels like a breath of fresh air.

On Tuesday, head coach Ron Rivera talked about the impact of the switch, citing the fanbase's reaction to the move.

"You can already feel the impact," Rivera told reporters, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.
