Ron Rivera's seat is hot, hot, hot

While the Cowboys look to clinch the division, the Commanders have had an entirely different season.

Washington enters the Week 18 season finale at 4-12 and the very bottom of the division, having lost in all division games and having been eliminated from playoff contention three weeks ago. 

Josh Harris expected to make some changes

In fact, they are now at risk of having their head coach fired after today's game. Ron Rivera is expected to be one of a few coaches to be let go, which is unsurprising considering his lack of success with the Commanders, coupled the purchase of the franchise by Josh Harris last summer.

Harris said then that he'd use the season to make some changes and he already has. He fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio midseason and expressed very openly his disappointment and frustration. Since then, the Commanders have not won a game, so imagine how he's feeling now. 

Rivera took the Panthers to the Super Bowl back in 2016, when they lost to the Denver Broncos and has a 102-102-2 career. With the Commanders, however, he's 26-39-1. He did lead them to an NFC East win in 2020, but that was with a 7-9 record. Now, he's sitting in the hot seat and expected to be gone by this evening.

Fair weather at FedEx field!

What's at stake for the Cowboys?

The Cowboys had a bit of a controversial win over the Lions last week. Their 15th straight home win, 20-19, was squeaked out after giving up 420 yards to Detroit. But a win is a win and as they have a 4-1 division record, including a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys are sitting at no. 2 in the NFC and will clinch the East with a win today. That means a home Game in the wild card round. And as you may have heard, the Cowboys have not lost a home Game in quite a while (since Game 1 of the 2022 season, to be exact), so a win today is quite significant for them.

In order for the Eagles to win the NFC East over the Cowboys, Dallas would need to lose and Philly would need to win, which would also drop the Cowboys all the way down to the fifth seed in the NFC.

Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to our live text coverage of the Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders! 

Not only is this a hot NFC East matchup, but it's also the regular season finale for both these teams. A win gives the Cowboys the NFC East division win and honestly, a loss for the Commanders at this point is in their favor as well, as they're likely to pick no. 2 overall in next year's draft and are already a lock to pick within the top five. They were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15. And yet, the Cowboys did manage to lose to the Commanders in last year's season finale in embarrassing fashion (26-6, ouch) and anything can happen in an NFC East rivalry.

The “Sutton Hoo” Treasures are amazing Anglo-Saxon discoveries discovered in a 7th-century ship burial mound

Image
A 2016 study found that a black carbon-based material found aboard the luxurious, 7th-century ship, buried at a site called Sutton Hoo in England, is bitumen – an organic, petroleum-based asphalt that is found only in the Middle East. The Anglo-Saxon ship buried in honor of a 7th-century monarch carried the rare, tar-like material. The ship’s burial mound , along with other burial mound s, were found approximately 80 years ago near the Deben river in today’s Great Britain. The study which indicated the discovery provided further evidence of important artifacts being transported over long distances in early medieval periods before ending at the burial site. However, at Sutton Hoo, this Middle East bitumen product wasn’t the only proof of contact with the civilizations of many places- silverware from the Eastern Mediterranean, some Middle Eastern textile, and an Egyptian bowl were also found on the boat. However, it’s quite unlikely that the Anglo-Saxon vessel discovered ...

Serbian border troops to maintain highest state of alert after ethnic clashes inside Kosovo

Serbia has condemned NATO-led peacekeepers stationed in neighboring Kosovo for their alleged failure to stop “brutal actions” by Kosovo police against ethnic Serbs BELGRADE, Serbia -- Serbia on Saturday condemned NATO-led peacekeepers stationed in neighboring Kosovo for their alleged failure to stop “brutal actions” by Kosovo police against ethnic Serbs, and said that its armed forces stationed near the border will remain on the highest state of alert until further notice. Serbia’s top political and security leadership, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, met in Belgrade on Saturday following violent clashes a day earlier between Kosovo police and ethnic Serbs that injured more than a dozen people. In response to the clashes, Vucic on Friday ordered troops closer to the border with Kosovo. “Due to the brutal use of force by (Kosovo Prime Minister) Albin Kurti and his forces against the Serbian people in Kosovo … the armed forces of the Republic of Serbia will remain at the highest level...

1,200-year-old lord's tomb laden with gold unearthed in Panama

Image
Archaeologists in Panama have discovered a 1, 200-year- old tomb belonging to pre-Hispanic royalty that also contains a sizable gold collection. The tomb is located in El Caño, an archaeological park in the Coclé province of central Panama. It is the final resting place of an "important Coclé lord," according to a translated statement from Panama's Ministry of Culture . The lord likely lived during the late 700s and would have been in his 30s when he died, according to an El Caño Foundation Facebook post.  The tomb contained an impressive amount of grave goods belonging to the unnamed royal, such as ceramic artifacts and gold pieces from a funerary trousseau — a collection of an individual's personal possessions.  A close-up of one of the gold artifacts found at the site.  (Image credit: Ministry of Culture) The cache includes five pectorals, or ornamental breast plates, two belts made of round gold beads, four bracelets, two earri...
