A previous two-time NFL Coach of the Year, Ron Rivera is making a strong case for his third award with the Washington Football Team.

In his first season as head coach of the Washington Football Team, Ron Rivera has Washington on the cusp of winning their first division title since 2015. It’s rather astonishing considering what Rivera was tasked with: Rebuilding a 3-13 football team while working with one of the most intrusive owners in professional sports.
