Philip Rivers has thrown 7,591 career NFL passes in his 16-year (and counting) NFL career. His career passer rating of 95.1 is tenth-best all-time among NFL quarterbacks, and he currently ranks sixth all-time in both passing yards and touchdowns.
Yet despite his accomplished professional career, Buckeye fans of a certain age remember him for his lone appearance in Ohio Stadium, when he nearly engineered an upset of the reigning national champions on their home turf.
In the third week of the 2003 season, Ohio State welcomed Rivers and the North Carolina State Wolfpack to the Horseshoe for the second highly-anticipated out-of-conference matchup in three weeks.
