ASHBURN — Ron Rivera was standing too far away to tell immediately who the offender was. But as soon as Jeremy Reaves collided violently with Dyami Brown — crumpling the wide receiver to the grass — the Washington Commanders coach yelled across the field and demanded to know which safety delivered the hit.
Reaves raised his hand. And Rivera stormed over in a hurry. After tearing into Reaves briefly, he gathered everyone around. And then they received an earful as well.
“This is the (stuff) we don’t [expletive] need out here,” Rivera yelled.
Rivera stopped practice Wednesday to light into his team, arguably displaying the most anger he’s shown publicly since arriving to Washington in 2020.
