In 2020, Ron Rivera led the team now known as the Washington Commanders on one of the most unlikely playoff runs in NFL history.
At one point, Rivera’s club stood at 2-7. In most years, the playoffs would be a pipe dream at that point. Still, in 2020, the two most talented rosters in the NFC East — the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys — suffered devastating injuries that virtually eliminated them from contention for the division crown.
Washington won the division despite using three different starting quarterbacks in the regular season and a fourth in the playoffs.
