LANDOVER, Md. (AP) Ron Rivera thought his first game with Washington would be against the Carolina Panthers he coached the previous nine seasons a fitting season opener with a juicy storyline.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Panthers owner David Tepper says he wants the organization to continue taking steps toward a more “data-driven and analytics approach” to scouting personnel moving forward.
That’s one of the reasons Tepper decided to fire general manager Marty Hurney on Monday, two days after the team dropped to 4-10 following a 24-16 road loss to the Green Bay Packers. Tepper said Hurney was more “traditional” in his approach to scouting and player personnel, but he wants to use more analytics when the team makes decisions.
