Ron Rivera strongly defended his role in the Washington Commanders acquiring Carson Wentz after the team's win over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

"I'm sorry, I'm done," Rivera said as he ended his press conference by walking off the podium.

In an ESPN story published Thursday, it was reported that Dan Snyder was the one who wanted Wentz. Washington landed Wentz in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts this past offseason.

"Everybody keeps saying I didn't want anything to do with Carson, well, bulls---," Rivera said. "I'm the f---ing guy that pulled out the sheets of paper, looked at the analytics, watched the tape when we were at Indianapolis, OK? And that's what pisses me off, 'cause the young man doesn't deserve to have that all the time."

Wentz later said he was unaware of the report, but, he said, he appreciated Rivera's passion.

"Coach Rivera, he's awesome," Wentz said. "I've got a ton of respect for him, playing in this league for a while from afar, and getting to play for him is even better. He speaks his mind and he'll be direct and to the point, and in this business that means a lot. Guys love that about him, and he's going to be straight up and very motivational. Guys respond to him very well. I'm appreciative of him."
