If there’s a 2020 NFL season, expect better from Philip Rivers.
The Colts will block for him, they’ll run the football and cut down on his contested passes. He’ll strain less. Remember how Frank Reich cocooned Andrew Luck when Luck returned from shoulder surgery? He’ll do the same for Rivers, 38. You’ll see six, seven, eight blockers on many pass plays. You’ll see two good running backs, Marlon Mack and rookie Jonathan Taylor, run for a lot of yards. Rivers will throw fewer than his 20 interceptions last year. In his own division, he’ll do better than 0-6 and a 71.
