US EditionPhilip Rivers Throws for 120 Yards, 1 Touchdown in First Start in Nearly Five Years
Philip Rivers, 44, completed 120 yards with one touchdown despite limited preparation after Colts lost two quarterbacks, narrowly falling 18-16 to the Seahawks, officials said.
- On Sunday in Seattle, Philip Rivers, 44, made his first NFL start since January 2021, throwing for 120 yards and a touchdown to Josh Downs in an 18-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
- The Indianapolis Colts turned to Rivers after injuries sidelined their QBs and faced heavy criticism for starting him to replace injured Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard.
- Rivers' key plays included a fourth-quarter drive that set up Blake Grupe's 60-yard field goal giving Indy a late lead, but Seattle regained it and Rivers threw an interception on the final drive.
- The narrow defeat raised fresh scrutiny of the Indianapolis Colts' personnel decisions as observers noted the team nearly produced a playoff-level result with Philip Rivers, comeback starter, while some commentators argued Rivers did not cause the loss.
- Rivers may start again this coming Monday at home against San Francisco, and his return secured additional medical insurance and prompted contract talks with Indianapolis Colts roster decision-makers.
