The Indianapolis Colts cannot catch a break with injuries. The team suffered another loss in the first half of Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. Center Tanor Bortolini suffered a concussion and was ruled out. By the second quarter, only left guard Quenton Nelson was playing in the position he was assigned at the beginning of the season.
No matter. Philip Rivers, the quarterback Indy placed a call to after Week 14 when starter Daniel Jones was injured, played as if he were 25 years old again. Sure, the defense could do little to stop the 49ers, but Rivers was shockingly able to keep the team in the game.
