"On Dec. 9, Rivers, who had retired from the NFL in January 2021 and hadn't played in a game since the 2020 season, signed to the Colts' practice squad after starter Daniel Jones tore his Achilles. The 44-year-old was activated days later to become the Colts' starting quarterback against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 -- and proved he still has it. Rivers threw for 120 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception each on 18-of-27 passing in an 18-16 loss."
"Going scoreless in a rematch with the Ravens, Burrow threw for 225 passing yards -- and two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six by Baltimore linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who handed the ball off to safety Alohi Gilman to complete the run into the end zone. Burrow's two-interception game marked his second career game with no touchdowns and multiple interceptions, and first since Week 9 in 2021."
