INDIANAPOLIS — Colts coach Frank Reich said Monday that he believes quarterback Philip Rivers can continue to play in the NFL beyond this season if that’s something he chooses to do.
Reich put a lot on the line when he suggested to general manager Chris Ballard and owner Jim Irsay that the Colts sign Rivers, who was coming off one of his worst seasons with the Chargers in 2019, because he believed the 39-year-old quarterback would be an upgrade at the position for Indianapolis.
Reich was right, as Rivers has thrown for 3,507 yards and 20 touchdowns with just nine interceptions for the Colts (9-4), who are currently the sixth seed in the AFC playoff race.
