Veteran Philip Rivers continued his recent streak of efficiency on Sunday. He went 22/28 (79%) for 228 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Despite his stellar play, Frank Reich chose to keep Jacoby Brissett on the field for a first down pass that was well off-target, which was partially responsible for Indianapolis settling for a field goal.
Brissett is a locker room favorite and a great human being. He’s a solid backup quarterback in the NFL but let’s hope Reich will let Rivers control the offense outside of the short-yardage packages.
P Rivers QB 51 94%
J Brissett QB 3 6%
Both Jonathan Taylor and Hyheim Hines had productive days on the ground against the Texans.
