When comeback veteran quarterback Philip Rivers spoke to reporters after the Colts' loss on Sunday afternoon, it was not immediately clear whether the 44-year-old had just made his final NFL start.
Now, however, it is reportedly official. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Stephen Holder, the Colts are expected to start rookie Riley Leonard for the team's season finale vs. the Texans in Week 18, which means that—barring another comeback in a year or two—Rivers's QB1 days are officially over.
