Philip Rivers Throws For 217 Yards
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers had an efficient performance Sunday against the Jets, throwing for 217 yards, completing over 80 percent of his passes and tossing one touchdown. The low amount of pass attempts was expected coming into the week. The Colts were tied with the Jets early in the game but blew them out after that, scoring 29 unanswered points en route to a win. Therefore, Rivers did not need to throw the ball too much, and the game was controlled by the defense and running the clock. This marks two straight games in which Rivers has recorded less than 30 pass attempts, so his fantasy stock is not too high at the moment. He will likely have to throw more next week against the Bears, but Rivers is more of a bench option in single-QB leagues until there is reason to think otherwise.
