Philip Rivers is finishing his NFL career after 17 seasons in the league shared between the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts, his last team in the competition after playing one season with them.
The Colts last played in the NFL Wildcard Round where the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills ended their season and the talented quarterback’s career, too. Now he’s decided to announce his retirement from the game after having a terrific tenure.
Rivers was one of the best quarterbacks of his generation and even though he didn’t win a ring, his talent and performance won’t ever be forgotten. That’s why everybody had something to say when he called it a career and decided to start a new chapter in his life.
NFL Twitter says goodbye to Philip Rivers with memes
The player released a statement where he announced his decision to leave the gridiron for good and everybody went crazy when he thanked his kids, nine in total. This was a very well-known fact about Rivers during his career but he couldn’t leave without fans delivering the best memes about him and his big family. Others made fun of him for not winning any ring while the rest paid their respect to a great quarterback.
In his last game ever in the league, Rivers threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts’ 27-24 loss to the Bills. He played 244 games, had a 134-106 record, threw for 63,440 yards, recording 421 touchdowns and 211 interceptions.
