The Rich Eisen Show

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera and Rich discuss his team’s resilience to win the NFC East this season, Alex Smith’s “triumphant” return to the NFL after that devastating leg injury he suffered two seasons ago, why Washington released former first-round pick Dwayne Haskins, his reaction to seeing the Eagles benching of Jalen Hurts for Nate Sudfeld in their regular-season finale, and how rookie DE Chase Young compares to Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. Rich recaps the Cowboys’ woeful 6-10 season and why coaches continuously make bad decisions when it comes time to throw/not throw the red challenge flag, (timestamp) and breaks down the Jets’ draft options after losing out on the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. Rich wraps up the hour discussing why tanking in the NFL can be a good thing if you’re looking ahead to the future instead of living in the moment.  Learn more about your ad choices.
