Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivera faced stiff competition from the Chiefs' Andy Reid, the Eagles' Chip Kelly, the Seahawks' Pete Carroll, the Patriots' Bill Belichick and the Cardinals' Bruce Arians. ... After entering the season on the hot seat, Rivera turned his Carolina career around in October by embracing a newfound aggressive philosophy. This football epiphany gave rise to a franchise record eight-game winning streak that ultimately resulted in 12 wins, the NFC South division title and the Panthers' first playoff appearance since 2008. It also earned Rivera a three-year contract extension that reflected in the team's 17-5 record over the past 22 games.
