Damn, I’d be lying right now if I said I didn’t have a few tears in my eyes. A couple of my family members have battled cancer, and we all know how tough it can be.
Rivera is battling cancer while also coaching in the NFL, which is simply an unreal situation to be in.
Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera tells me he has been diagnosed with lymph node cancer after a self check. Rivera shared the news with his team tonight but says the cancer is in the early stages and is considered “very treatable and curable”.

He absolutely murdered the Dallas Cowboys, and he’s getting his final cancer treatment Monday. Let’s call it a hot streak because that’s a ton of great news in a short period of time!

Huge props to Rivera for fighting like a true champion against cancer. It’s a horrible sickness that should be eradicated, and I’m damn happy for Rivera.
