Despite losing to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in his first start since the 2020 season, Indianapolis Colts veteran quarterback Philip Rivers will get his chance at redemption.<\/p>\n
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a>, Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Rivers will remain the team’s starting quarterback for its matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16.<\/p>\n DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a> gives the Colts +600 odds to make the playoffs and -900 odds to fall short of the postseason.<\/p>\n The 44-year-old showed that he still has something left in the tank, completing 18 of his 27 passes for 120 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday’s 18-16 loss. He helped the Colts take a one-point lead with under a minute left in the fourth quarter, but the Seahawks won the game on a 56-yard field goal by Jason Myers with 18 seconds left in regulation.<\/p>\n “I’m grateful that I was out there, and it was a blast,” Rivers said after the game, per ESPN’s\u00a0Stephen Holder<\/a>. “But, obviously, the emotions now are disappointment. This isn’t about me. We’ve got a team that was scrapping like crazy to try to stay alive and get in the postseason, so obviously, we’re all disappointed. We came up just short.”<\/p>\n
