After becoming the first owner to publicly call for Snyder's ouster from the NFL, Irsay's willingness to go after the embattled billionaire adds a layer of intrigue to Sunday's game between the Commanders and Colts.

NFL owners are concerned with more than just the investigations of Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders. Drops in attendance and interest over Snyder's tenure are "costing his fellow owners significant money," one source told ESPN.
A lawyer for the Washington Commanders said Friday that owner Dan Snyder welcomes the release of a transcript from his nearly 11-hour deposition with the House Oversight and Reform Committee that took place in July.
