‘That’s What P*sses Me Off’: Washington’s Ron Rivera Goes on Explicit Rant in Attempt to Defend Himself After Throwing QB Carson Wentz Under the Bus Earlier This Week

Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera is not having it anymore about his quarterback Carson Wentz. Rivera is unhappy with the suggestions that he didn’t want Wentz to be on his team.

Wentz played the full game on Thursday against the Chicago Bears, which the Commanders went on to win.

Ron Rivera on Carson Wentz

The Commanders ran off as 12-7 winners over the Bears and Wentz played a relatively decent game. But it was the press conference after the game that became the highlight of the day. Rivera went on a rant during the press conference in defense of his quarterback and said he was fully on board with the trade, refuting any suggestions otherwise.

“Everybody wants to keep saying I didn’t want to do anything with Carson, well bulls*it. I’m the f*ckin’ guy that pulled out the sheets of paper, that looked at the analytics, that watched the tape, and the freaking when we were in Indianapolis. OKAY!” Rivera said. “And that’s what pisses me off because the young man doesn’t deserve to have that all the time. I’m sorry, I’m done,” he added before storming off the stage and leaving the press conference midway. There have been murmurs in the media that the Commanders’ coach is not happy with his QB.

The storm

Ron Rivera was asked on Monday the reason why other teams are playing better in the NFC East division and his answer was “quarterback”. He then went on to clarify that teams are built around the QB and other teams are quite familiar with their player in that position. But these comments were enough to cause a media storm.

Whatever it may have been off the field, the Commanders did win their game on Thursday, although the performance left a lot to be desired. Wentz completed the game despite being apparently injured, although the QB struggled a bit. He recorded just 99 passing yards and did not throw a single touchdown pass. Wentz completed 12 of 22 passes in the game with a 66.3 passer rating. None of his passes were intercepted.

The Washington Commanders have just two wins after 6 games and sit at the bottom of the NFC East table. All the other teams in the division are 4-1 or better. This is a cause of concern for Washington, although they still have a good amount of games to script a comeback. The Commanders will next take on the Green Bay Packers in their next game.
