“There’s a lot of personality in who they all are and I think that plays into the character in that locker room”, Rivera said just a few days ago, before recalling how the players handled the Newton-Norman fracas without intervention from the coaches. We’re going to do our job. “Yeah, we won the football game, but there are some things we’ve got to go back and huddle up and be better with”. “That’s what he’s done”.
