COSTA MESA, Calif. -- For the eighth time in the past 10 seasons, Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers will not reach the postseason.
The Chargers have not won the AFC West since 2009, so Rivers has grown accustomed to manufacturing things to play for at the end of the year.
But as he prepares for his 224th consecutive start, Rivers said he will not lack for motivation when the Chargers hit the road to face the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS) still looking for their first AFC West win this season.
