Iron Man Philip Rivers

[ChargingBolts]

Sunday 1/3/21 vs. the Jaguars will be Rivers 240th consecutive start (15 straight years x 16 games) and he will now be 57 consecutive starts behind Brett Favre's all time record of 297. (Including the playoffs it will be Rivers 251st consecutive start which is also 2nd all time, and 70 behind Favre's total record of 321).

Rivers is also tied with Marino for 5th place all time TD passes.

Need to win and then some help to make the playoffs at 11-5!!

Rivers supposedly says he will retire if Colts don't make playoffs. That would be sad

Colts' Philip Rivers leaning away from retirement in 2021: 'I hope there is a Year 2 in Indianapolis'

By Patrik Walker

The 2020 season has been a mostly fun ride for the Indianapolis Colts, with their decision to roll the dice on a Philip Rivers paying off far more often than not. The 39-year-old signed a one-year, $25 million deal with the club in free agency, following a divorce from the Los Angeles Chargers that saw his career end in southern California mostly due to incessant turnovers. That's been mostly cleaned up in Indy -- Rivers having thrown for 4,005 yards and 23 touchdowns to only 10 interceptions (he had 20 INTs last season) -- and the Colts are 10-5 because of it, along with his willingness to push through a foot injury that will likely require surgery to repair.

As he justifiably peeks at the offseason horizon to come, it doesn't sound like he's interested in retiring from the NFL. Instead, he's hoping the Colts see fit to slide another contract his way in a few weeks.

"Without speaking out of turn, it didn't make a huge difference to me if it was a two-year deal or a one-year thing," Rivers said of joining the Colts in 2020, via The Athletic. "I think that was just what was best for both sides. If I came in here and stunk it up, I was gonna be done anyway. It'd be like, 'Man, this is brutal, let me just go coach.' But if it went well, and we got in the playoffs and made a run, let's do it again."

Therein lies the rub, however, because the Colts need help to make the playoffs, despite potentially finishing with 11 wins.

Bills up big on Fins, looking good.

Need Colts to win and they are in..

A bonus would be the Texans beating the Titans.

If you can't be Jax, you should retire.

3 ints for Tua in 2nd half, thankfully Fins drafted him instead of Herbert

If you can't be Jax, you should retire.

this thread is going to light up like a switchboard if Rivers chokes today. I don't want to see it though - GO PR !!!!

As stated, Colts don't play Jax well. Lost 5 of last 7.
Hope PR does it today though
