Both Washington and Carolina are coming off of big week 10 wins against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. At 3-6 and coming off of their first win since October 3rd, Washington is trying to erase the stench surrounding the team over the past month. Rivera’s next obstacle is heading back to Charlotte to face the Carolina Panthers.
Head Coach Matt Rhule, who is already 1-0 against Rivera and Washington, has the Panthers at 5-5. Further, Rhule signed quarterback Cam Newton a week ago, and Rivera’s former franchise quarterback is slated to start against Washington.
