For the first time in nearly five years, Philip Rivers started an NFL game as he took on the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. Following injuries to Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones and backup Riley Leonard, Indianapolis shockingly decided to sign Rivers. Days later, the 44-year-old took the field for his first game since Jan. 2021, an 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Heading into his first start in nearly five years, Rivers told reporters during the week, “Shoot, we gotta stinking run the crap out of the ball and play defense and do all those things.”
