Rivera on the defensive line generating pressure: there's a lot of things to go back and look at as a defensive unit in order to get better.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 26, 2021

Ron Rivera reiterated what's said multiple times before: the defense has to mature and learn to play together.

Rivera said there were some moments on defense, but most them were individual efforts. Wants to see the defense make plays as a unit.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 26, 2021

Rivera says defensive issues are a matter of small things adding up rather than one major problem. Missed assignments and execution.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) September 26, 2021

Rivera was asked what his preseason expectations were for the defense: "My expectations were to play better than we did, to be honest."

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) September 26, 2021

Rivera not happy with the amount of pressure they were able to get on Josh Allen. "First and foremost you have to get to him."

Ron Rivera, on what was working for Washington's DL last year that may be missing this year: "People know who they are. They got a little more attention now."

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) September 26, 2021

Rivera said Heinicke was trying to force things on his two interceptions. He's not going to fault someone for trying to make a play, but he wants the QB to take what's given to him.

Ron Rivera clearly not happy with the officiating on the Dawson Knox TD push-off, seems like the WJ III DPI as well & the spot of the play he challenged early on. #WashingtonFootball

Antonio Gibson: "I feel like we just need to come out stronger."

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) September 26, 2021
