Rivera proud of resilient receivers

RIVERA APPLAUDS RESILIENT RECEIVERS: Head coach Ron Rivera stuck by his starting wide receivers when they struggled during the preseason and in Week 1.

And he took great pride in seeing Ted Ginn, Jr. and Philly Brown come down with touchdown catches during Sunday’s 24-17 victory over the Houston Texans.

"Something bad may happen – but just watching them rebound and come back just speaks to their resilience and the resilience of this football team," Rivera said.

"I’m not sure what the character of the 2015 team is going to be, but just seeing guys stick with it and come back and make plays – that’s big.
