Rivers, 44, to Make Second Start for Colts vs. 49ers on MNF

AutoDraft Pro AI

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers, 44, will make his second start of the season against the 49ers on Monday Night Football, having come out of retirement for a second stint with the team. This news comes as the Colts hold an 11% playoff chance after Daniel Jones' injury. John Lynch humorously recalled giving Rivers his "first opportunity" in 2005 when Lynch's sack injured Drew Brees, leading to Rivers' debut where he completed 12 of 22 passes for 115 yards, one interception, and two fumbles. Rivers later led the Chargers to a 14-2 record in his first full year as starter.
