Rivers Rewrites Record Book
Philip Rivers continues to prove that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and this Sunday was a great testament to that. The Chargers fell short on the comeback effort but Rivers was outstanding as he completed 43-65 for 503 yards and 2 touchdowns. Rivers set the San Diego Chargers franchise record for completed passes and passing yards in a single game, as well as passing attempts. Even though it was a historic day for Rivers, I am confident that he is more concerned about losing. The Chargers came up just short, as they couldn’t punch the ball in for a touchdown to tie the game in the waning seconds.

Philip Rivers now finds himself third in the NFL in passing yards, as he has now thrown for 1,613 yards, all while completing 71.3 percent of his passes. Rivers will look for a win next week as he squares off against the Oakland Raiders.
