Is Philip Rivers playing today for Colts vs Seahawks in NFL Week 15?

Philip Rivers has made a surprising decision at 44 years old. The Hall of Fame candidate came out of retirement to sign with the Indianapolis Colts after head coach Shane Steichen lost Daniel Jones for the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury.

Despite backup Riley Leonard recovering from his knee injury, Steichen’s plan all along was to bring in Rivers in an attempt to make an epic push toward the playoffs. The Colts were the best team in the NFL just a few weeks ago with a 7–1 record, but an unexpected collapse now has them at 8–5 and currently outside the postseason.

However, if the Indianapolis Colts manage to win four consecutive games, they will be in the playoffs. That would give Philip Rivers the opportunity to win a Super Bowl, something he was never able to achieve during his legendary time with the Chargers.

Is Philip Rivers starting for Colts against Seahawks?

Can Philip Rivers still make the Hall of Fame?
