"I don't think anybody expected it to be like this," Washington head coach Ron Rivera said on Dec. 15. "This is a little bit more beyond what we had anticipated. I think that the thought might be that guys that hadn't gotten vaccinated might have come down with it at some point or another, not that it would be a crossover because for the most part, most of our guys are guys that were vaccinated.”
