Regardless of your opinion of Philip Rivers, he helped the Indianapolis Colts on their current journey to re-establish themselves as contenders.
Indy has largely been lost since 2015, and Andrew Luck’s retirement moments before the 2019 season really could’ve put the franchise on the highway to hell.
Instead, the front office and coaching staff remained strong, weathered that campaign as best they could, and brought in Rivers for a 2020 season in which a number of other pieces were taking the next step or needed guidance from an influential voice.
