Ron Rivera on DT Jonathan Allen:

"He's physical at the point of attack, more so than anything else. You get a lot of guys that stutter and float looking for an opportunity. Jonathan just goes forward and it's the quickest route to the quarterback is straight ahead.” pic.twitter.com/gGydzXw8zg

Terry McLaurin said of the 3rd-down catch at end of TB game: "One of my favorite plays since I've been in the NFL."
Loved it because everyone knew he'd get the ball. And, "to get hit like that and not them see you down and you get up and hype the crowd up, that's a fun moment."

Asked if the players wanted to get this one for Rivera, Daron Payne said, "I feel like right now we just want some dubs."

Ron says things with Curtis Samuel are "pretty much where they were last week." Samuel visited with doctors seven days ago pic.twitter.com/FICVEMqVlf

No Curtis Samuel on the field at all today for practice. It might be time to shut him down officially because minus two games, he’s been shut down all season. At this point start rehabbing him for next season. There’s no shame in that. #WashingtonFootball #NFL @SportsJourney

Time to come back to reality. What exactly was the thought process behind Curtis Samuel’s offseason treatment?https://t.co/sgUBu5dvRE

Wait until you find out we call 270lb edge rushers and 215lb off the ball cover guys both “linebacker”

On players such as #Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who self-reported COVID-19 symptoms, Dr. Allen Sills: “That’s a tough step to take and reflects a very mature, thoughtful leadership role. It’s what we encourage everybody to do.”

Here's an updated look at my "Screw It, We're Going For It" metric. It compares avg. air yards and conversion rate on 3rd down and 10+ yds. to go.

The difference between the Rams and the Lions is just staggering.@TurfShowTimes @JourdanRodrigue @GManzano24 @davebirkett #NFL pic.twitter.com/UJt28kFapn
