Everything that could’ve gone wrong has gone wrong for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons </a>this season. From injuries to their star players to losing close games they should’ve won, it’s been a bad campaign overall.



A lot has been said of their offense, and righftully so. And while their defense has held its own more often than not, there’s only so much one unit can do to keep the others afloat.



Their special teams unit has left plenty to be desired this season, and they rank dead last in kickoff coverage. However, despite that being a recurring issue for most of the campaign, head coach Raheem Morris refuses to make adjustments.



<h2>Raheem Morris shuts down concerns about special teams</h2>



“Staff changes right now is irrelevant,” Morris told the media, per Falcons insider Scott Kennedy. “You always want to go across and you’re always going to have to evaluate everything at the end of the season. You know, we’ve got to go out there and cover kicks. We’ve got to go out there and block and protect. We’ve got to go out there and do all the things that we’re capable of doing. We’ve got people that know how to do it. We’ve got people that know what to do, and we’ve got to execute. That is the part that’s driving me nuts, the execution part.

“The hard part for us is we dedicate so much time and people into special teams, right?” Morris continued. “We have people on our roster that are strictly dedicated to it. We went out and got these people. We sought them out. We found them. We put them on our grass. We put them on our football team, and they’re out there to make those plays, and we’ve got to make them.”



The devil is in the details, and you have to dominate all three phases of the game to succeed in this league. With that approach, Morris might not survive another season in Atlanta.

To say that this has been a disappointing season for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> would be a massive understatement. They’ve won just four games all year, and they were struggling even before Michael Penix Jr’s season-ending injury.



This has been the case for years now, and Raheem Morris hasn’t done much to right the ship. The fans have lost their patience, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him lose his job at the end of the season.



Nevertheless, he doesn’t seem to be too worried about that right now. If anything, he recently claimed that he’s been in constant communication with team owner Arthur Blank, and he’s been fully supportive.



<h2>Raheem Morris isn’t worried about his job</h2>



“He is 100% in support of me,” Morris said of Blank, per Arkesh Ray of Falcons ON SI. “Support ain’t an issue. He is absolutely outstanding.”







The Falcons are 4-9. They have one of the most stacked offenses in the game, and they finally revamped their ever-struggling pass-rushing unit. There’s simply no way to justify these numbers.



This isn’t Morris’s first time in charge of a team, and the same issues of old are plaguing the Falcons. Unless something changes, they might just waste Bijan Robinson’s and Drake London’s prime.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> gave Cam Ward the keys to the franchise. That’s usually what you do when you’re trying to build your team around the No. 1 pick, who also happens to be a quarterback.



The rookie out of Miami has made the rounds for his statements more often than for his play. His brutally honest nature has rubbed some people the wrong way, even when he’s been right.



That may have been the case again after beating the Cleveland Browns. Ward’s post-game statements made it loud and clear that he’s not happy with his situation. And, according to Titans sideline reporter Will Boling, some of his teammates have had enough.



<h2>Cam Ward might be ruffling some feathers in Tennessee</h2>



“On the play ride home,” Boling said on 104.5 The Zone. “Arden Key gets on the intercom and says ‘You all enjoy this! Don’t listen to what Cam (Ward) said! You all enjoy this! It’s hard to win in this league, enjoy it!”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251210_BUS_542826_cam-ward-3_cd798b8a.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans." class="wp-image-508462" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans.</figcaption></figure>



Granted, some leaders will ruffle feathers, and players need to set high standards for themselves and their teammates to achieve excellence in this league. There’s nothing wrong with that; if anything, the Titans should encourage that type of leadership.



That being said, as leaders, players also need to read the room, understand the context, and throw their teammates a bone every now and then. He’s young, he’ll learn about that.

Not many people can talk about Bill Belichick being one of his pupils or brag about taking him under his wing. The legendary Bill Parcells, however, isn’t like most people.



Belichick, arguably the greatest head coach of all time, has seen his reputation take a massive hit lately. That hasn’t changed anything from his winning days with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>.



That’s why, now that he and his former boss — and foe — Robert Kraft are about to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Parcells wanted to share his two cents on these figures. 



<h2>Bill Parcells supports Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft’s Hall of Fame bid</h2>



“Most of these voting things have wound up political, but you can’t dispute what they’ve accomplished,” Parcells told MassLive. “When you’ve accomplished more than anybody else, it would be pretty ludicrous if it didn’t result in them getting in there.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251210_BUS_542820_Robert-Kraft_0676cd8e.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Robert Kraft New England Patriots" class="wp-image-308203" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft looks on before the game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on November 10, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.</figcaption></figure>



Things didn’t end well between the two, but that only speaks volumes about their competitive nature and standards. It’s never been okay to just be okay with these two; they want more.



And regardless of how anybody may feel about both of them, there’s simply no way to deny what they have accomplished and what they’ve given to the game of football.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> have the best record in all of football right now. Mike Vrabel has turned the franchise around overnight, and while they’ve had the easiest schedule, you can only beat whoever is in front of you.



Drake Maye and the Patriots have also won some tough games this season. It hasn’t always been perfect, but the tape and the underlying metrics show this team is for real.



With that in mind, Ethan Hurwitz of Patriots On SI identified the two clearest paths for the Patriots to punch their postseason ticket on Sunday. Even with a tie or a loss, they could still get in. 



<h2>Even with a loss, the Patriots can clinch a playoff berth on Sunday</h2>



“This one is the most straightforward outcome of the bunch. For the Patriots to recapture the division crown they once owned for so long, all it takes is a single victory over the Bills in Week 15. The win (paired with the Bills losing) would give New England the tie-breaker on the year,” Hurwitz wrote. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251210_BUS_542818_Mike-Vrabel-looks-on_9dd3ee89.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots" class="wp-image-492094" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



“The Patriots would need any of the following teams to have a specific result. The Patriots would earn a playoff berth if they tied, and either the Jacksonville Jaguars or Los Angeles Chargers lost, or the Indianapolis Colts or Houston Texans either lost or tied. In a crazier outcome, if New England were to lose to the Bills, if the Colts and Texans both lost, they would clinch their first berth into the tournament since 2021,” Hurwitz explained.



Of course, Coach Vrabel won’t be satisfied with just making the playoffs, even if the Patriots win. There’s plenty of football to be played, and they can’t afford to get complacent now.

Shedeur Sanders will be the starting quarterback for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, the rookie will have to play the final games without two key offensive weapons by his side.



The Browns have not had a great 2025 NFL season. Despite their struggles, there is some good news, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a>, whom they selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, has shown promise and is proving his value to the team.



The quarterback has taken over as the starter for the remainder of the season. He is determined to finish the campaign on a strong note in order to keep the QB1 role in 2026.



<h2>Browns send two offensive players to injured reserve</h2>



The Cleveland Browns are already thinking about how to approach the 2026 season. While they no longer have playoff hopes, there are still areas they can work on this year to prepare for the future.



One key area is the offense. The defense remains solid and experienced, but the offense is now led by a rookie quarterback whom the Browns need to surround with more talent.



Unfortunately, two players who were expected to help Shedeur Sanders will not be available for the final stretch of the season. The Browns confirmed that two offensive weapons will miss the remainder of the year.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kevin-stefanski-confirms-final-decision-between-shedeur-sanders-and-deshaun-watson-after-browns-loss-to-titans"></div>


On Tuesday, Cleveland announced that center Ethan Pocic and running back Jerome Ford were placed on injured reserve. With only four games left in the 2025 season, neither will return this year.



While Ford had already lost the RB1 role to Quinshon Judkins, Ethan Pocic was the team’s starting center. Unfortunately, an Achilles injury has ended his participation for the season.

After 14 weeks of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, perhaps one of the biggest surprises so far has been the Kansas City Chiefs’ underwhelming performance, given their prominence in recent years. Andy Reid has struggled to get his team’s campaign on track, and many are already questioning whether significant changes should be made to the coaching staff.



Insider Adam Schefter appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he revealed that, while the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> will evaluate all options at the end of this season, he doesn’t foresee major changes to the coaching staff.



“An organization is going to examine everything after the season. I think people expect Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo to get head coaching interviews. I don’t think Kansas City is going to be making any big voluntary wholesale changes to its coaching staff.



“These guys are in demand. They’re respected. I don’t see that happening.“ Amid uncertainty about the future of these two legendary coaches, Schefter’s remarks suggest their positions could remain in Kansas City.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542612_andy-reid-steve-spagnuolo_10f18fa6.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Steve Spagnuolo with Andy Reid" class="wp-image-542662"></figure><figcaption>Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo talks with head coach Andy Reid.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The Chiefs’ successful coaching staff</h2>



The coaching staff featuring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid,</a> Matt Nagy, and Steve Spagnuolo created a championship-caliber dynasty during their time together with the Kansas City Chiefs. As the head coach, Reid has led the franchise to consistent success, including Super Bowl LIV, LVII and LVIII victories. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/patrick-mahomes-delivers-comment-for-travis-kelce-rashee-rice-to-hear-after-drops-vs-texans"></div>


Matt Nagy, serving in various offensive coaching roles (including Offensive Coordinator), helped mold the team’s prolific attack, particularly in the developmental years of Patrick Mahomes. 



On the defensive side, Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo architected the unit that delivered crucial, game-winning stops in those <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> runs. This trio was instrumental in establishing the Chiefs as the dominant force in the AFC, combining offensive brilliance with championship-level defensive intensity.



<h2>Chiefs’ playoff hopes in jeopardy</h2>



With just a handful of games remaining and currently holding a 6–7 record, the Chiefs’ future this NFL season is in jeopardy. According to the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">NFL’s official site</a>, they have an 11% chance of making the playoffs heading into Week 15.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> are still alive in the 2025 NFL season. Unfortunately, they have delivered tough news to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> about a key teammate that may reduce their chances of reaching the playoffs.



According to the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Playoff Picture</a>, the Bengals still have a 1% chance of advancing to the postseason. Obviously, it is not an ideal scenario, but their season is not over yet.



Unfortunately, Cincinnati now faces a new problem in this late playoff push. Trey Hendrickson, the team’s star pass rusher, has been dealing with an injury that is now expected to sideline him for the rest of the regular season.



<h2>Trey Hendrickson to miss the rest of the 2025 regular season</h2>



Earlier this year, the Bengals gave Trey Hendrickson a one-year, $29 million deal to keep him for the 2025 season. Unfortunately, the move did not pay off, as the defensive end has not played at the level the team expected.



Hendrickson has appeared in only seven games this season, recording four sacks, 16 combined tackles, and three tackles for loss. Those numbers have fallen short of what the Bengals’ defense needed from the four-time Pro Bowler.



Now, things have worsened for Cincinnati. Hendrickson has dealt with hip and pelvis injuries throughout the season, and reports indicate his campaign has come to an end.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/afc-north-standings-and-playoff-picture-updated-after-ravens-steelers-in-2025-nfl-week-14"></div>


NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that Trey Hendrickson underwent core muscle surgery on Tuesday morning. His recovery timeline is six weeks, and with the regular season ending in four weeks, he is expected to miss the remainder of the year.



While Hendrickson could technically return for the playoffs, the Bengals’ slim 1% playoff odds and his absence on the field raise the possibility that he has already played his final game with the AFC North club.

The Dallas Cowboys’ latest loss to the Detroit Lions put their fight for the division — and their playoff hopes — in serious jeopardy. However, the recent defeat of the Philadelphia Eagles at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers gives <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones">Jerry Jones</a>, Dak Prescott, and the rest of America’s Team renewed hope of staying alive once the regular season comes to an end.



In a recent appearance on 105.3 The FAN, according to Jon Machota via X, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Cowboys</a>’ top executive expressed enthusiasm about his team’s fresh chance to get back in the mix and fight for a Wild Card spot.



“Real excited. They didn’t even need to put any fuel in the plane. I flew up here on my own. We sure got a shot at this thing,” Jones firmly stated. With just a handful of games remaining, they can’t afford to squander any more opportunities from here on out.



<h2>Cowboys’ playoff chances</h2>



According to the latest projections from the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">NFL’s official site</a>, the Dallas Cowboys have a 10% chance of earning a Wild Card spot heading into Week 15. Is that a lot? No. But it certainly means all hope is not lost for this team.

<h2>The Cowboys’ last chances</h2>



The Dallas Cowboys face a crucial four-game stretch that will be instrumental in securing their path to the playoffs. Their upcoming challenges include two important matchups at home, hosting both the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Chargers at AT&amp;T Stadium. 



Following these home games, the Cowboys will take to the road for two NFC East rivalry contests, traveling to face the Washington Commanders and concluding the sequence with a decisive matchup against the New York Giants. Performing well in this mix of non-conference tests and vital divisional battles is key for Dallas to lock up a postseason berth.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers">Philip Rivers</a> built a reputation on decisiveness and durability long before any discussion of wealth entered the picture. His years across the league, from San Diego to Indianapolis, shaped a career defined as much by consistency as by competitive fire.



What followed was a financial path that grew steadily with every season under center. Contracts, incentives and the rare longevity he enjoyed added layers to a portfolio that reflects both opportunity and endurance within the modern <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> landscape.



Yet the story isn’t just about numbers on a balance sheet. His net worth and career earnings trace a broader arc — one that includes family priorities, post-retirement choices and the quieter decisions that reveal how he approached life beyond the huddle.



<h2>What is Philip Rivers’ net worth?</h2>



Philip Rivers’ net worth sits at $100 million, according to Marca. This figure reflects both his long NFL career and the various earnings, bonuses and endorsements that came with being a top-tier quarterback.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542559_Philip-Rivers-8_20148f01.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-542560"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers in 2020 (Source: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



In addition to his wealth, the quarterback has been collecting a different kind of title. In 2025, he joined — and now tops — the list of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/oldest-quarterbacks-in-the-nfl">oldest QBs</a> in the league, as well as the group of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/oldest-players-in-the-nfl">oldest active players</a>.



<h2>What is Philip Rivers’ salary with the Colts?</h2>



Now that Philip Rivers has returned to play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a>, not much is known about his current earnings, since he’s initially joining the practice squad. In 2020, he signed a one-year deal with the franchise worth $25 million, amount that was fully guaranteed, according to Spotrac.



<h2>Philip Rivers’ career earnings in the NFL</h2>



17 years as a franchise quarterback results in one of the most significant financial footprints in NFL history. Philip Rivers consistently ranked among the highest-paid players in the league throughout the 2010s, building a war chest that places him among the top career earners in the sport.



His total NFL career earnings through the 2020 season, his last full year, are reported to be over $242 million—specifically $243,944,322, according to detailed salary breakdowns from Spotrac and $242,150,000 as per Over The Cap.



This total was accumulated across his time with the Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts. Key to this colossal sum were the long-term contracts he secured, including a massive four-year, $84 million extension with the Chargers in 2015 and his final, $25 million, one-year pact with the Colts.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542559_Philip-Rivers-9_65673b18.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-542561"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers in 2020 (Source: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>

<h2>Philip Rivers’ real estate holdings</h2>



One of the clearest glimpses into Philip Rivers’ financial approach came in 2020, when he purchased a home in Westfield, Indiana, for just under $1 million. The property was described as “modest” by pro-athlete standards.



After his time in the NFL, he moved quickly to list the home for $1.05 million, and interest surged almost immediately. With approximately 7,500 square feet, multiple fireplaces, a wet bar and a full projection theater room, the property blended practicality with touches of luxury.



That same year, he also prepared to part ways with the home that had defined his life during his Chargers tenure. The sprawling California property — six bedrooms and nearly 6,900 square feet — went on the market for $4.2 million.



It sat inside a gated community in the San Diego area and carried features that mirrored the lifestyle of a long-term franchise quarterback: a media room, sweeping ocean views, a pool and spa, an indoor basketball court and even access to a private 18-hole golf course.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers">Philip Rivers</a>’ journey has always blended intensity with an unmistakable sense of purpose. Long before Indianapolis called, he had already carved out a reputation as one of football’s most compelling competitors.



His story, though, extends far beyond the stat lines that defined his early rise. Decades in the league shaped him, but so did the constant pull of a large, close-knit family that traveled with him through every new chapter and new city.



By the time he arrived with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a>, he had accumulated milestones that spoke to both longevity and evolution. The shift offered a fresh stage, another test and a reminder of how his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> career and personal life continued to intertwine with uncommon steadiness.



<h2>How old is Philip Rivers?</h2>



Philip Rivers was born on December 8, 1981, making him 44 years old as of December 2025. His age positions him among the rare quarterbacks whose careers — or even brief returns — stretch well beyond the typical NFL timeline.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542520_Philip-Rivers-4_0927d3e4.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-542535"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers in 2020 (Source: Chris Unger/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



At this stage of life, his longevity has become part of the story itself. His age isn’t just a number; it reflects decades of durability, leadership, and a competitive streak that never fully quieted, even after stepping away from full-time football.



<h2>How tall is Philip Rivers?</h2>



Philip Rivers stands 6 feet 5 inches tall (1.96 m), a build that has long defined the prototypical NFL pocket passer. That height gave him a clear field of vision and the ability to read defenses without being swallowed by the line.



On the field, that frame translated into composure. His height wasn’t just a measurement on a scouting report, it shaped the way he navigated the pocket, delivered throws under pressure and maintained a commanding presence throughout his career.



<h2>How much does Philip Rivers weigh?</h2>



During his playing days, Philip Rivers carried a weight of 228 pounds (about 103 kg), a number consistently listed in his pro-player profiles. That weight gave him the classic quarterback build: big enough to stand tall behind the line, yet not so heavy as to limit mobility.



<h2>Who is Philip Rivers married to?</h2>



Philip Rivers has been married to Tiffany Rivers (née Goodwin) since 2001. The couple first met in middle school, long before his NFL fame, and tied the knot shortly after his freshman year at college, establishing a relationship deeply rooted in shared history and faith.

A low-profile partner despite the spotlight that came with his football career, she helped anchor the family through the turbulence of an NFL life — moving seasons, relocations and long hours. Their marriage has been described as a constant of stability, with both placing faith and family above the fleeting glamour of professional sports.



<h2>How many children does Philip Rivers have?</h2>



Philip and Tiffany Rivers are parents of ten children: seven daughters and three sons. Their eldest, a daughter named Halle, was born in 2002 — while they were still students at college — and the youngest, a son named Andrew Joseph Rivers, was born on October 30, 2023.



Across more than two decades, the Rivers household has grown into something akin to a small community, with a wide span of ages that blends infants with young adults. 



The family’s faith-centred upbringing and shared values appear to have guided the couple in raising such a large brood, even amid the demands of a long NFL career.



<h2>Philip Rivers’ family: How many grandchildren does he have?</h2>



In late 2024, Rivers’ world expanded once more: his eldest daughter, Halle, gave birth to a baby boy, making Philip and Tiffany first-time grandparents. As of 2025, that means at least one grandchild has joined the growing Rivers clan, transitioning Philip from “dad” to “grandpa”.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542520_Philip-Rivers-7_8b80fc37.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-542548"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers in 2020 (Source: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



That milestone reframes much of his legacy: beyond long NFL seasons and passing yards, there’s now a generational arc at home. It speaks to a personal life as large and layered as his professional one… proof that for him, family remains the core of what matters most.



<h2>Philip Rivers’ career highlights in the NFL</h2>



Over a span of 17 seasons, Philip Rivers cemented his place among the league’s most productive and durable quarterbacks. He threw for 63,440 passing yards and 421 touchdowns, numbers that put him among the all-time elite for career production.



But statistics alone don’t capture his influence. He earned eight Pro Bowl selections over his career, a testament not only to his skills but also to his consistency, resilience and ability to lead through changing rosters and coaching staffs.



Beyond the numbers, his identity as a traditional “pocket passer”, commanding the pocket, reading defenses, delivering accurate throws under pressure, helped define an era of NFL quarterbacking built around precision more than mobility.



Even after his announced “retirement” in 2021, those seasons continue to speak to who he was: a quarterback whose legacy blends volume, longevity, character and — above all — reliability.

Following Daniel Jones’ injury, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> have decided to sign Philip Rivers. But will the veteran quarterback play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks?



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philip Rivers</a> turned 44 on Monday, and the Colts gave him a return to the NFL as gift. The team signed the veteran to its practice squad, potentially handing him the offense in the final stretch of the regular season.



According to Adam Schefter, the Colts will evaluate Philip Rivers on Wednesday and Thursday to determine his availability for Week 15, when Indianapolis faces the Seahawks. Reports suggest the tests will be more physical than mental to assess whether he is ready to play this weekend.



<h2>Is Philip Rivers going to be the Colts’ starting QB?</h2>



The Colts face a tough situation right now. Following <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a>‘ season-ending Achilles injury, they needed to find a new quarterback, although the one they acquired was not what fans expected.



With Rivers’ return to the NFL, many fans are wondering whether he will become the starter. While the club has yet to determine if the veteran will be promoted to the active roster, his addition to the practice squad sends a clear message that they view him as an option for the 53-man roster.



Currently, backup QB Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, and the Colts have no other quarterbacks behind him. The next emergency option would be tight end Tyler Warren, which is why Rivers’ arrival makes sense.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/philip-rivers-signs-with-colts-qb-depth-chart-updated-with-daniel-jones-injured"></div>


The Colts want to make the playoffs, and Leonard may not be the answer to their needs. For that reason, many fans believe Rivers, despite coming out of retirement at age 44, could be the best option for their playoff push.

One of the headline stories of the day in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> is Philip Rivers’ return to the league, as he joins the Indianapolis Colts to replace Daniel Jones. At 44 years old, the quarterback is putting the helmet back on, playing well into his 40s just as the legendary <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> once did.



Considered by many to be the true GOAT, Brady retired twice, with only one season separating the announcements. Initially, he declared he was stepping away from the game at age 44 in 2022; however, he returned for one more season and, wearing the Buccaneers uniform, finally decided to call it a career at age 45.



TB12’s spotless career—spent mostly wearing the colors of the New England Patriots—places him among the greatest players in the history of the sport. His unmatched physical durability allowed him to reach an age few have ever achieved, all while building a trophy-filled career.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers">Rivers</a>’ return to the NFL makes it clear that while many quarterbacks manage to establish themselves at a young age, those past 40 can still rise to the occasion. Can the eight-time Pro Bowler lead the Colts to the long-awaited playoffs?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542441_tom-brady-1_37c4016f.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Tom Brady" class="wp-image-542470"></figure><figcaption>Tom Brady #12 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Brady defined a legacy of greatness</h2>



Tom Brady’s career is defined by unparalleled success, highlighted by his record seven Super Bowl championships—more than any single NFL franchise. He holds the all-time records for passing yards, passing touchdowns, and career wins. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/philip-rivers-makes-nfl-return-with-colts-will-he-start-vs-seahawks-in-week-15"></div>


TB12 was also named the Super Bowl MVP five times and secured three regular-season MVP awards. His longevity, competitive fire, and clutch performances cemented his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in history.



<h2>Other long-lived quarterbacks in the NFL</h2>



With the recent news, Philip Rivers is set to join an exclusive and highly experienced group of quarterbacks currently active in the NFL who are over the age of 40. This veteran cohort includes Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco, showcasing the remarkable longevity of top-tier signal-callers in the modern game. 



While other established veterans like Russell Wilson (37) and Tyrod Taylor (36) remain highly effective, they are notably younger than the prestigious 40+ club, further highlighting the rare status of Rivers, Rodgers, and Flacco in today’s league.

Following Daniel Jones’ Achilles injury, the Indianapolis Colts had no time waste as their 2025 NFL season was now hanging on by a thread. Hoping to keep the team afloat, the Colts have now signed 44-year-old quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers">Philip Rivers</a> to the practice squad.



With Rivers returning to Indianapolis after retiring following the 2020 NFL season, the Colts now add another healthy quarterback option. Rookie Riley Leonard’s status for Sunday is uncertain as he deals with a knee injury. All signs indicate Rivers will serve as backup as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones">Daniel Jones</a> is out for the season and Anthony Richardson remains on Injured Reserve (IR). 



Meanwhile, Brett Rypien—currently on Indy’s practice squad—is another option to command the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a>’ offense in Week 15. Lastly, tight end Tyler Warren is currently listed as the emergency quarterback. The rookie out of Penn State shined in college football due to his ability to play any role on offense, including several snaps at the QB position.



<h2>The numbers behind Rivers’ last NFL game</h2>



If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/philip-rivers-makes-nfl-return-with-colts-will-he-start-vs-seahawks-in-week-15">Rivers starts in Week 15 when the Colts visit the Seattle Seahawks</a>, he will become the third-oldest quarterback in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> history to ever do so. Moreover, it will be his first outing since January 9, 2021, when he led Indianapolis’ offense against the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542432_philip-rivers-colts_7772b9a8.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Philip Rivers of the Indianapolis Colts waves to fans after a win." class="wp-image-542224"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers of the Indianapolis Colts waves to fans after a win.</figcaption></figure>



The Colts fell 27-24, and Rivers decided to hang up the cleats afterwards. Back then, the former fourth overall pick in 2004 threw 27 completions for 309 yards and two touchdowns.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/philip-rivers-returns-to-nfl-at-44-how-old-was-tom-brady-when-he-retired"></div>


<h2>Rivers seemingly up for new jersey number</h2>



Though out for the season with an Achilles injury, Jones is still in possession of the No. 17 jersey. Rivers has worn that number throughout his entire career, so as he re-joins Indianapolis, many wonder which jersey number he will take up. 



With NFL quarterbacks wearing numbers from 0–19, there are only a handful of options available for Rivers. The currently available numbers are: 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, and 16. As No. 12 is widely associated with Andrew Luck, it seems reasonable to say Rivers will choose a different option.

This past weekend, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> came out on top in their divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, putting themselves back in contention in the AFC North. The downside of the day was DK Metcalf’s visit to a local clinic, though head coach Mike Tomlin expects him to be available for the upcoming Monday Night Football clash with the Miami Dolphins.



According to ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Tomlin</a> said his star WR is “moving in the right direction,” and that this particular situation won’t “jeopardize” his availability for Week 15 when the team hosts the Dolphins at Acrisure Stadium.



The former Seahawks player was taken to a clinic in Baltimore after experiencing severe abdominal pain and, after being evaluated by medical staff, was able to return to Pittsburgh Monday morning.



During his performance at M&amp;T Bank Stadium, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dk-metcalf">Metcalf</a> recorded his season-best with 148 yards on seven receptions in his team’s victory, putting the Steelers back atop the AFC North and firmly in contention for a playoff spot.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251209_BUS_542394_dk-metcalf-1_3ea79d3f.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="DK Metcalf" class="wp-image-542407"></figure><figcaption>DK Metcalf #4 of the Pittsburgh Steelers.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Metcalf’s season in Pittsburgh</h2>



In his first season after joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, wide receiver DK Metcalf quickly established himself as a key component of the team’s offense. Metcalf put together a solid campaign, registering 52 receptions for a total of 753 receiving yards. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-star-teammate-drops-bold-statement-on-mike-tomlins-job-amid-growing-rumors"></div>


His dynamic playmaking ability was evident in his efficiency, posting an impressive 14.5 yards per reception average. Metcalf also proved to be a reliable threat in the red zone, finishing the season with 5 receiving touchdowns. Overall, his production provided a much-needed downfield threat and helped reshape the identity of the Steelers’ passing game.



<h2>What’s next for the Steelers?</h2>



The Pittsburgh Steelers face a demanding slate of upcoming matchups that will heavily influence their playoff push. They will first host the Miami Dolphins at home in a key AFC contest. 



Following that, the Steelers embark on back-to-back road games, traveling to face the Detroit Lions before heading into a crucial divisional battle against the Cleveland Browns. 



They will close out this challenging stretch back at home at Acrisure Stadium, where they will take on their fiercest rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, in what is guaranteed to be a physical and decisive AFC North showdown.
