Philip Rivers Passes for Over 4,000 Yards for the 10th Time, 3rd in NFL History to do so

Last night wasn’t a good night for Philip Rivers and the Chargers (11-4). In fact, it was Rivers’ worst game of the season.

The Ravens (9-6) beat the Chargers 22-10, and Rivers was 23 of 37 for 181 yards and 2 interceptions (0 touchdowns). Yesterday was the first time all season that Rivers didn’t throw a touchdown in a game. His QB rating of 51.7 marked his lowest rating in a single game since Week 14 of last season (49.2 vs. the Chiefs).

While it wasn’t a game Rivers will like to remember, it was a historical day for the former NC State legend.

Rivers has once again passed for 4,000+ yards in a season, needing only 49 yards entering the contest. In doing so, he became only the 3rd Quarterback in NFL history to record 10 seasons or more of 4,000 yards.

1) Peyton Manning – 14
2) Drew Brees – 12
3) Philip Rivers – 10

Rivers has made a lot of history in his 15th season.

In Week 1, he moved into 6th place in NFL history in touchdown passes.

In Week 4, he passed John Elway, moving into 8th place all-time in career passing yards.

In Week 9, he started his 200th consecutive game, becoming only the 4th player in NFL history to do so.
