If the Philadelphia Eagles manage to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII Sunday -- and I believe they will -- Washington Commanders fans will lose a coveted place in bragging rights between the NFC East teams.

The decision to sit Heinicke in favor of Wentz is reason enough to fire Rivera. But add to that the bizarre postgame comments, in which Rivera seemed surprised that because of the loss to the Browns, his team faced playoff elimination if the Packers defeated the Vikings later that day.
