After 17 seasons, Philip Rivers is calling it a career.
The former Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts quarterback has announced his retirement from the NFL, telling The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Kevin Acee, “It’s just time.”
Rivers led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth this season. The 39-year-old completed 68% of his passes for 4,169 yards and 24 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. His final game in the NFL was a 27-24 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC wild-card round.
2020 marked the seventh time in River’s career that he made it to the postseason. However, he never made it to a Super Bowl.
The eight-time Pro Bowler finishes fifth all-time with 63,440 passing yards and 421 touchdowns.
