"SEATTLE -- Philip Rivers gave the Indianapolis Colts a chance. In his stunning return to the game after nearly five full seasons in retirement, Rivers started at quarterback for the Colts and positioned them to win before a late collapse by Indy in an 18-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Rivers led the Colts on a would-be game-winning drive that was capped by a team-record 60-yard field goal by Blake Groupe with 47 seconds remaining."
"But given the circumstances -- Rivers had been with Indianapolis for just five days before suiting up for the game -- he might have demonstrated that what he's doing is, in fact, viable. Rivers completed 18-of-27 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown, managing the offense with precision and helping the Colts navigate the Seattle defensive front with two backups playing offensive tackle."
Philip Rivers returned to play after nearly five full seasons in retirement and started at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 18-of-27 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown while managing the offense amid two backups playing offensive tackle. Rivers led a would-be game-winning drive that was capped by a team-record 60-yard field goal by Blake Grupe with 47 seconds remaining. The Seahawks responded with a quick game-winning drive finished by a 56-yard field goal from Jason Myers. Rivers took several big hits, including on a fourth-quarter high-snap play, and appeared to emerge seemingly unscathed. Rivers threw his first touchdown since the 2020 season.
