Commanders News: Ron Rivera, Sam Howell, Emmanuel Forbes and Week 11
By Dean Jones
Which Washington Commanders news stories are hitting the headlines after their heartbreaking loss at the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10?
The Washington Commanders fought with everything they had and led for long periods, but Jack Del Rio's defensive unit once again fluffed their lines en route to a gut-wrenching loss at the Seattle Seahawks. Moral victories at this stage are moot - this defeat represents a significant dent in the team's hopes of making the wildcard spots in the first season under Josh Harris' ownership group.
In the wake of such a demoralizing reverse, the stories causing debate include Emmanuel Forbes' frustration, Ron Rivera's assessment, Sam Howell's accountability, and the Commanders' opening as heavy favorites in Week 11 against the New York Giants.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
Commanders vs. NY Giants odds for Week 11
The Washington Commanders have yet to win a divisional game this season. According to the opening betting lines, that could change when they take the field in Week 11 against the struggling New York Giants on home soil.
