Commanders fans ecstatic that Washington finally fired DC Jack Del Rio but they still want more

After two consecutive disappointing weeks for the Washington Commanders, something had to change. It was clear.

It looks like ownership decided that something was going to be the defense. After a 45-10 drubbing by the Cowboys, the Commanders let go of defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

It makes sense. The defense hasn’t been good all season long. It’s one of the worst as far as total yards allowed per game by opponents. On top of that, the team just had two consecutive embarrassing losses to the Giants’ backups and the Cowboys — Washington’s biggest rival. It was time for a change.

Fans were excited. But they’re still looking for more change from ownership. Ron Rivera better be careful out there.
