There's an alternate universe somewhere in which Philip Rivers is playing for the Titans (4-4) this weekend, facing off against Marcus Mariota and the San Diego Chargers.
The trade -- or any potential deal for Mariota -- never got off the ground. Both teams seem happy with their choices, though it didn't stop Chargers coach Mike McCoy from heaving some pretty generous complements ahead of Sunday's matchup.
"He's a very talented player and a great leader who really loves to play the game," McCoy said of Mariota, via ESPN.
