Rivers is underappreciated. Chargers fans know this and know it’ll probably remain that way unless he finds a way to win a Super Bowl. However, this season, it feels like he’s been lost among the variety of storylines that surround the Chargers. But, his play has been truly great in carrying the offense.
The primary storyline for the Chargers is the injuries, unfortunately. To focus specifically on Rivers, just look at the offensive side of the ball right now. Justin Jackson, Hunter Henry, Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin, Virgil Green, Sean Culkin, and Dontrelle Inman are all injured at the moment.
