After the Chicago Bears upset the Detroit Lions on Sunday, defensive end Montez Sweat had some high praise for his new head coach, Matt Eberflus, and, in the eyes of some people around the DMV, appeared to take a dig at his former team, the Washington Commanders.
“Where I come from, it was kind of like just waiting on the season to end,” Sweat said. “But here it’s like, every week is a new challenge, and people want to play for the man beside him……..Coach ‘Flus is a great coach. He keeps us motivated. I’ve never seen a head coach run the team and call defensive plays, so that’s new for me. A lot of respect for him as a coach.”
On the Kevin Sheehan Show, Lynnell Willingham joins Denton Day (in for Kevin Sheehan) to give his reaction to Sweat's comments about the Commanders, how it should make the players feel, how Ron Rivera should feel about it and how the fans should feel about it.
