Ron RIVERA

NFL: 20th seasonPanthers: 6th seasonRegular Season: 52-40-1 (.565)Postseason: 3-3 (.500)

Ron Rivera became the fourth coach in Carolina Panthers history on January 11, 2011.

In five seasons, Rivera has guided the team to a Super Bowl ap-pearance, an NFC Championship and three NFC South titles. He is a two-time (2013 and 2015) Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year award winner.

In 2015, Rivera led the Panthers to the second Super Bowl ap-pearance in team history following a franchise-best 15-1 record and their third consecutive NFC South championship. In the process, Carolina became the fourth team in the Super Bowl era to start a season 14-0, joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins, 2007 New England Patriots and 2009 Indianapolis Colts. Carolina’s 18-game regular season winning streak was the longest in NFC history. In 2014, Rivera led the Panthers to their second con-secutive NFC South championship and the team’s first playoff win since 2005. The Panthers became the first team since 1970 to overcome a six-game losing streak and win their division. In 2013, Rivera directed Carolina to 12 wins, the NFC South title and its first playoff appearance since 2008.

Before joining the Panthers, Rivera was an assistant coach with the San Diego Chargers (2007-2010), Chicago Bears (2004-06, 1997-98) and Philadelphia Eagles (1999-2003). In 2006, the Bears defense led the NFL with 44 takeaways, helping propel Chicago to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI. He is just the third Latino head coach in NFL history, joining Tom Flores with the Oakland Raiders (1979-1987) and Seattle Seahawks (1992-94) and Tom Fears with the New Orleans Saints (1967-1970).

A second-round draft choice in 1984 by Chicago, Rivera played nine seasons with the Bears. Primarily an outside linebacker, he was a member of the 1985 Super Bowl XX winning team.

Rivera played linebacker at Cal (1980-83), where he finished as the school’s all-time leader in sacks (22) and tackles (336).

Born January 7, 1962 in Fort Ord, Calif., Rivera and his wife, Stephanie, have two children—Christopher and Courtney.

THE HEAD COACHES

Jay GRUDEN

NFL: 13th seasonRedskins: 3rd seasonRegular Season: 20-24-1 (.456)Postseason: 0-1 (.000)

Jay Gruden was named the 29th head coach in franchise history on January 9, 2014.

He guided the Redskins to a 9-7 record and an NFC East title in 2015, becoming only the sixth coach in team history to lead the franchise to a playoff berth within the first two years of a coach-ing tenure.

Gruden joined the Redskins after spending three seasons as of-fensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, during which time the Bengals averaged 10 wins a season, making three consecu-tive playoff appearances and earning an AFC North championship in 2013. In three seasons together, Gruden helped quarterback and 2011 second-round pick Andy Dalton post a 30-18 regular season record (.625).

He also spent seven seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an offensive assistant (2002-08), helping the team to its first league championship in Super Bowl XXXVII.

Gruden was honored with induction into the Arena Football League Hall of Fame in 1999. He won six combined league cham-pionships–four as a quarterback and two as a head coach–and was named the 1992 AFL Most Valuable Player.

Gruden played quarterback at Louisville (1985-88), twice being named team MVP. He played quarterback for the Barcelona Drag-ons and Sacramento Surge (WLAF, 1990), Tampa Bay Storm (AFL, 1991-96) and Orlando Predators (AFL, 2002-03).

Gruden coached in various capacities for Louisville (1989-1991), Nashville Kats (AFL, 1997), Orlando Predators (AFL, 1998-2001, 2004-08), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-08), Florida Tuskers (2009-2010) and Cincinnati Bengals (2011-13).

Born on March 4, 1967 in Tiffin, Ohio, Gruden and his wife, Sherry, have three sons — J.J., Joey and Jack—and one grandson, Trey.

THE LAST TIME...

Carolina 44, Washington 16november 22, 2015 • bank of ameriCa stadium • Charlotte, n.C

Behind quarterback Cam Newton’s career-high and franchise record-tying five touchdown passes and five takeaways by the defense, Carolina defeated Washington, 44-16, at Bank of America Stadium and improved to 10-0. The first quarter featured four touchdowns between the teams as it ended in a tie at 14. After Carolina safety Kurt Coleman ended Washington’s first drive of the game with an interception, Newton found running back Jonathan Stewart for a 12-yard touchdown. Washington needed just three plays to answer, as quarter-back Kirk Cousins connected with wide receiver DeSean Jackson for a 56-yard touchdown. Carolina regained the lead when fullback Mike Tolbert recorded a 3-yard touchdown catch, but Andre Roberts returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to level the score. Washington appeared to take the lead early in the second quarter when cornerback Chris Culliver jarred the ball away from Olsen and returned the interception 75 yards for a touchdown. But Culliver was penalized for a helmet-to-helmet hit, nullifying the score. Five plays later, Newton spotted wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr. over the middle for a 2-yard touch-down. Carolina’s defense quickly put the offense in position to add to the lead. Linebacker Luke Kuechly stripped the ball from running back Matt Jones, and linebacker Thomas Davis made the recovery at the Washington 24. Newton con-nected with Olsen for a 5-yard touchdown six plays later. Defensive end Kony Ealy’s strip-sack allowed Carolina to widen the gap before halftime. After tak-ing over with 1:54 remaining following the takeaway, Graham Gano converted a 42-yard field goal as the second quarter expired. Carolina recorded another strip-sack on the first play of the third quarter. Cornerback Bené Benwikere blitzed, forced Cousins to fumble and made the recovery at the Washington 11-yard line. Rookie wide receiver Devin Funchess, making his first career start in place of the injured Corey Brown, hauled in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Newton moments later, extending the lead to 38-14. Gano added a 48-yard field goal, and late in the third quarter cornerback Josh Norman registered a forced fumble, leading to the fifth total takeaway. Norman punched the ball out of tight end Jordan Reed’s grasp and Kuechly made the recovery, which led to a 25-yard field goal from Gano. In a scoreless second half for the Redskins offense, they compiled just 57 total yards and Cousins was sacked five times.
