Philip Rivers Moves into 6th in NFL History in Passing Touchdowns

NC State legend Philip Rivers threw 3 touchdowns in Week 1 of the 2018 NFL season, giving him 345 career touchdown passes. He entered the day with 342, which was one behind Fran Tarkenton who ranked 6th all-time in career touchdown passes, and by the end of the day, Rivers had leap frogged him.

Rivers also currently ranks 7th all-time in completions, 8th in passer rating, and 9th in passing yards.

Even though he’s 37-years old, he’s not about to retire. He plans at minimum to play out the last two years of his contract, but doesn’t desire to play into his mid-40’s like Tom Brady and Drew Brees.  Whenever Rivers decides to hang it up, he will have finished a career that is worthy of being in the Hall of Fame.
