The Washington Football Team running backs are an interesting bunch for sure. What was considered to be the strength of the team in July is one of the more perplexing groups on the roster and perhaps the league.

Road to playoffs narrows

Seven games to grow. To improve. To ready for 2021. All good things. But to make the 2020 playoffs? It’s not the easiest route.

Rivera picks the wrong passer

Cancer treatments won't stop Rivera
