Can the Washington Commanders snap a three-game losing streak on Sunday? It will be a tall task for the Commanders, who host the high-flying Miami Dolphins from FedEx Field in Week 13.
Washington will look differently on Sunday, with head coach Ron Rivera serving as the defensive coordinator. Rivera fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and secondary coach Brent Vieselmeyer after last week’s 45-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Rivera said we can expect a few changes, but nothing he or anyone else can do this late into the season will make a dramatic difference. While Rivera may simplify some things, you shouldn’t expect the results to change too much.
So what does Washington need to do to pull off the upset?
