Former NC State ACC Player of the Year Philip Rivers started his 211th consecutive NFL game on Sunday, in the Chargers 27-20 loss to the Texans, moving him into 2nd place in NFL history.

Rivers only trails Hall of Fame Quarterback Brett Favre, who started an absurd 297 consecutive games.

“I’ve been blessed to be healthy enough to be out there every week,” said Rivers, who also credited his offensive linemen over the years. “So, thankful for that. There’s probably a little element of toughness in there somewhere.

“That’s one thing I’ve always … sometimes you can’t help it. But, thankfully, I’ve been able to be healthy enough, and [it’s] always been important to me to be ready to go every week.” (LA Times)
