Philip Rivers is back in the NFL.
The 44-year-old is a quarterback once again after signing with the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers was never fleet of foot and never had the strongest arm, but he had moxie, could talk trash (cleanly) with the best of them and put it all together to pass for more than 63,000 yards across 17 NFL seasons (so far).
Now he’ll take on the task of rescuing the Colts, a team that once looked like the class of the AFC before dropping three straight and seeing starting quarterback Daniel Jones go down with an Achilles injury.
Can Rivers save the day? Can the Colts get back on track? Is Jonathan Taylor about to see his carries quadruple? It’s hard to predict, but the journey will be interesting to watch. As The Athletic’s Ian O’Connor wrote: “Rivers is not going to let anyone down here. Either he can still pick apart NFL secondaries, or he can’t. We will find out soon enough.”
Buckle up for this week’s quiz, which will touch on Rivers. And make sure to check out our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too.
