Philip Rivers is retiring from the NFL

It’s the end of an era in the NFL—not to mention the end of an era for NC State fans—because Philip Rivers is retiring, per a report from Adam Schefter. The decision comes 11 days after the Colts fell short of an upset bid of Buffalo in the playoffs.

Rivers leaves the game fifth all-time in passing yards (63,440) and passing touchdowns (421). He started 252 straight games, including the playoffs, showing incredible durability in the process. He’s a no-doubt hall of famer when that time comes, and it’s gonna be weird watching football on Sundays without seeing him on the field.
