Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera responded Thursday to Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy guaranteeing a win over Washington on Sunday.
Rivera expressed his belief that publicly calling a win was a bad move on McCarthy's part (h/t NFL.com's Kevin Patra):
"I think it's interesting. I don't think it's important. I think that's the big mistake, because as far as I'm concerned, you do that for a couple of reasons. One is you want to get in our head. And so I've told our players, 'That's interesting, it's not important. What's important is our preparation, getting ready to play on Sunday.
