Philip Rivers Throws For 244 Yards
Philip Rivers had 19 completions for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 44-27 win against the Chargers. This marks Rivers' fourth straight game with at least two touchdown passes, and he has a passer rating over 100 in four of his last five games. His 28 passing attempts was his lowest amount of attempts since Week 3, but he was still able to put up decent stats. He has a divisional matchup next week against a Texans Defense that surrendered 285 yards and two touchdowns to him in their Week 13 contest. It looks like he will be a decent QB2 option again next week.

Philip Rivers Would Consider Returning To Play For Saints
Philip Rivers said that he hasn't heard from the New Orleans Saints, but he would consider coming out of retirement to play for them if they were interested. Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Saints will have to choose between Taysom Hill (concussion) -- who has missed the last two games with a concussion -- or Trevor Siemian to lead their offense heading into a Week 9 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The 39-year-old Rivers has very little left, but he did throw 24 touchdowns to 11 interceptions with the Indianapolis Colts last year, and he might be an improvement over Hill/Siemian, at least in the passing game. This will probably amount to nothing, but it's an intriguing possibility if the Saints aren't sold on the Hill/Siemian combination.
