It could be utter insanity — signing a 44-year-old grandfather to your roster after he's been retired for five years. That's what the Indianapolis Colts did, though, in convincing Philip Rivers to come play some emergency football. There is insanity in that, right?
Well, is it as insane to start Rivers against a defense that belongs to the Seattle Seahawks? Yes, the correct answer is yes. Unfortunately, the Colts don't really have the time or the luxury to wait for a softer team, though. They still have the playoffs on their minds, and if Rivers gives them the best chance to make it there, he'll start against one of the NFL's most vaunted defensive squads.
