I wanna say something about Philip Rivers. He hasn’t played football in over 5 years, he steps up in a role we have never seen. Coming into this job and immediately playing against the best defense in the NFL. The next week having to play against the other hottest defense and offense in the NFL, in the 49ers. He managed to be the best player on the field tonight for the Colts, as a 44 year old that just took the job. This story will always be remembered by me as a die-hard NFL fan, he played his heart out.
