Philip Rivers Puts Up Big Numbers In Loss
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed 31 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday as the Chargers fell to the Houston Texans. LA continued to struggle in the second half of ballgames, and Rivers was sacked five times on the day. The 46 passing attempts were the most Rivers has had in a regular season game since Week 1 of 2018, and Rivers hasn't won a single game in the last five years when he's thrown the ball 45 or more times. Whether LA wins or loses, Rivers has the ability to put up gaudy numbers, so he'll be valuable no matter how the season goes for the underperforming Chargers.

Philip Rivers Would Consider Returning To Play For Saints
3 years agoRetired quarterback Philip Rivers said that he hasn't heard from the New Orleans Saints, but he would consider coming out of retirement to play for them if they were interested. Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Saints will have to choose between Taysom Hill (concussion) -- who has missed the last two games with a concussion -- or Trevor Siemian to lead their offense heading into a Week 9 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The 39-year-old Rivers has very little left, but he did throw 24 touchdowns to 11 interceptions with the Indianapolis Colts last year, and he might be an improvement over Hill/Siemian, at least in the passing game. This will probably amount to nothing, but it's an intriguing possibility if the Saints aren't sold on the Hill/Siemian combination.
