Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera cut out of the Carrie Underwood concert early Sunday night so he could catch the end of the second half of the Seahawks-Cardinals.
“It was good,” Rivera said of the concert. “It was loud, though. I’m a little bit of a fuddy duddy.”
While Rivera opted for a staycation during the bye week, many of his players traveled to their former schools and more exotic locales to get away from the stench of a 1-5 start.
If the idea was to take five days away from football and come back feeling refreshed and energized, Rivera was Exhibit A.
