ASHBURN — As the presumed new coach of the Washington Redskins, Ron Rivera will get a shot to face his old team right away.
The Carolina Panthers will be on the Redskins’ schedule in 2020, setting up an old-fashioned revenge game for Rivera against the team that he coached for most of the last nine years.
That promises to be one of a few juicy games on the docket next year. The Redskins also will host the Cincinnati Bengals in a matchup of the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in April’s NFL draft. Going by late December mock drafts, it should be Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow facing Washington pass-rush specialist Chase Young for Washington.
