The Indianapolis Colts are attempting to do the impossible, pulling 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement five years removed from his last NFL pass in an attempt to keep this team in the playoff picture following an injury to locked-in starting quarterback Daniel Jones.
Just a few days ago, Rivers was happily retired and serving as head football coach of the St. Michael Catholic Cardinals in his native Alabama. After only a few days of practice, Rivers is not only starting against a 10-win Seattle Seahawks team on the road, but he's looking better than anyone would have thought possible.
