FILE - Washington Football Team defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio stands on the sideline during an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks, Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020, in Landover, Md. Jack Del Rio never made it to Las Vegas with the Raiders so his first game there will be as an opponent instead of head coach of the team he cheered for as a kid. That means Del Rio will be on the visiting sideline as defensive coordinator when Washington (5-6) takes on the Raiders (6-5) on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021. (AP Photo/Mark Tenally, File)
