Dwayne Haskins Jr. skips speaking to the media; blows off team, but eventually agrees to speak from home

Dwayne Haskins Jr. continues to make his exit from Washington easier and easier for the team. He was stripped of his captaincy and fined $40k earlier this week after pictures of him partying maskless with what appeared to be strippers at his girlfriend’s birthday party. The team was hoping that Alex Smith could play this week so they didn’t have to start Haskins, but Smith’s calf wasn’t ready and he sat again.

Rivera seemed to think Haskins the team the best chance to beat the Panthers today, and clinch the NFC East. He was wrong, and Haskins was absolutely horrible today.
