Since I spent my last column taking a shot at my own father and heard from him plenty, I\u2019ll skip any grandpa jokes when talking about the return of 44-year-old Philip Rivers (a grandfather himself) to Indianapolis. The Seahawks spent all week preparing for the future Hall of Famer to start in the NFL for the first time in five years.<\/p>\n
So what can we expect? A Colts team source told me Rivers can still sling the ball, but he\u2019s not very mobile. Expect a lot of sacks \u2014 especially against a Seahawks defense that ranks fourth in that category. And while Rivers tries to thread the needle, don\u2019t be surprised if this offense leans heavily on Jonathan Taylor to keep the chains moving.<\/p>\n
The Colts are throwing a Hail Mary to salvage their season \u2026 and, I\u2019m sure, trying to find ways to fit a cold tub for Uncle Phil on the plane for their flight home from Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since I spent my last column taking a shot at my own father and heard from him plenty,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347528,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-347527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
