Ron Rivera Might Still Not Know if DeVonta Smith Caught It

Ron Rivera had absolutely no idea the DeVonta Smith catch was a drop at the end of the game:
Ron Rivera never saw the replay of DeVonta Smiths 4th down catch, and that’s why he didn’t challenge pic.twitter.com/jigmtPlBuE

“It wasn’t complete?” LOL
This is the look of a guy who knows he just lost the argument:
Still not having an idea if the the catch was incomplete even after the game is a fireable offense. I can just picture Rivera squinting through his transition lenses wondering why the Eagles are rushing up to the line. That’s now two bonehead decisions he’s made against the Eagles this year. Two years in a row a DeVonta Smith catch goes unchallenged:

I’m gonna miss Riverboat Ron. I remember being nervous that the Commies were getting an adult in the room and the Giants were getting one of the best offensive minds in the game. I thought the NFC East was going to be a rock fight for years to come. Nope. Between Rivera not challenging that call and Daboll asking the kicker who needs surgery to hit a 35 yarder when it’s 4th and 1 with 28 seconds left, I know it’s going to be the Eagles vs. the Cowboys every year for the foreseeable future.
