When Colts quarterback Philip Rivers throws, anything can happen

Who is Philip Rivers?

Well, that depends on which of his 7,637 career passes you're watching.

Sometimes, he's "elitely accurate," as his new boss, Colts coach Frank Reich, called him Wednesday, four days before the Vikings visit Indianapolis.

Over a 17-year career, 16 of them with the Chargers, Rivers ranks ninth in completion percentage at .647.

Other times, Rivers looks like a rookie in need of a good benching.

In Sunday's 27-20 upset loss to Jacksonville, Rivers handed the Jaguars 10 points by throwing the 199th and 200th interceptions of his career.
