Trying to reset his team after losing six of eight games, Ron Rivera's message this week has been about the opportunity in front of the Washington Commanders with the New York Giants coming to town. “It’s a chance to get ourselves on track and keep going,” Rivera said.
When the week began, the New York Giants thought they were preparing for a Josh McDaniels-coached team quarterbacked by Jimmy Garoppolo. Antonio Pierce, who played for the Giants in 2005-09, will be the Raiders' interim coach and rookie Aidan O'Connell the starting QB when the teams meet Sunday.

Buffalo holds a special place in Brian Daboll’s heart that goes beyond being his beloved hometown. As much as Allen credited Daboll for being one of his more influential mentors, Daboll cited the quarterback as a person who boosted his coaching career. “When you’re able to coach good players and be around good players as a coach, they help you,” Daboll said during a Zoom call with Buffalo-area reporters as the Giants (1-4) prepare to travel to play the Bills (3-2) on Sunday night.
