"INDIANAPOLIS -- Philip Rivers was the last player to leave the Indianapolis Colts' locker room Monday night following their 48-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, seemingly trying to soak up every moment of this improbable -- and presumably final -- go-round in the NFL. As Rivers tried to enjoy what is left of his football career after unretiring just over a week ago, he's wrestling with conflicting emotions brought about by the Colts' 0-2 record in his two games under center."
""I'm torn on how to express it, because it's been a blast," Rivers said of his return to the NFL after five years away. "It's been a blast to prepare and to go stinking get ready and go out there and warm up and do all that with these guys again. But, again, the name of the game is not go have a good time. It's help find a way to lead your team to a win. And we've come up short.""
Philip Rivers returned from retirement to rejoin the Indianapolis Colts after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. The 44-year-old completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns to Alec Pierce and one interception in a 48-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Rivers pushed the ball more aggressively than in his Week 15 debut and showed impressive individual play, but the Colts fell to 0-2 in his two starts. Rivers lingered after the defeat, reflecting on enjoying preparation and warmups while lamenting the team's inability to secure a victory.
