In the days leading up to Sunday’s game against the Bills, Washington head coach Ron Rivera said he viewed the game as an indicator of his team’s condition at this point in the season.

Things have not gone well for the Rivera club. They fell behind 21-0, then surrendered 22 straight points after reducing Buffalo’s lead to seven points in the second quarter. After the game, Rivera explained how he thought the measurement process went.

“We have a long way to go. The truth is, we were beaten today, ”Rivera said via NBCSportsWashington.com. “My expectation was that we would play better than we did, to be honest.”

Buffalo racked up 481 yards in the 43-21 victory and the defensive shortcomings were constant for the first three weeks of the season. This was not to be the case given how well things have turned out on this side of the ball in 2020 and it is difficult to see Washington go up against many of its future opponents if unity does not strengthen things. .
