‘No matter what, I’m going to be there’: Alex Smith makes good on promise to WFT

PHILADELPHIA – Before the final roster cutdown of the Washington Football Team in September, Alex Smith sat in Ron Rivera’s office. No matter what, I’m going to be there.’ And he was ready to roll.” A room full of Hollywood writers couldn’t come up with the material needed to chronicle the Washington Football Team’s season. Call it a really late Christmas present or maybe the team is simply fulfilling one of its New Year’s resolutions, but by besting an Eagles team absolutely trying to lose Sunday night’s contest, Rivera got the expeditious start to rebuilding this franchise that he said he wanted back at his January press conference. Good or bad, day in, day out, guys come to work and put in the effort.” Smith, whose overall record as a starter in Washington now moves to 11-4 since he was traded to the team in 2018 by the Chiefs, was 22 of 32 for 162 yards, two touchdowns – the second coming on tight end Logan Thomas’ acrobatic touchdown reception late in the half – and two interceptions.
