INDIANAPOLIS — Philip Rivers is earning every penny of his paychecks in the month of November.
Brought in to Indianapolis to give the Colts the quarterback play they needed to become a playoff contender again, Rivers has come up big in every game but one during a brutal November stretch.
None bigger than the game he played Sunday in a 34-31 overtime win over the Green Bay Packers, a critical win that keeps Indianapolis in lockstep with the Tennessee Titans for the AFC South crown and sets up another crucial showdown against the Titans next week.
Rivers had to know he was going to have to come up big in this one.
