The veteran NFL coach didn't want his diagnosis or treatments for squamous cell carcinoma to interfere with football, and his defensive coordinator followed orders and began the team's preparations for the season opener Sunday against Philadelphia."He knew these things were going to occur," Del Rio said. “We’re going to stay on point with what we’re doing.
