Here we'll try to look at and discuss how the Indianapolis Colts playoff chances sink after loss to Seahawks in Philip Rivers' season debut.

A storybook ending didn't materialize for Philip Rivers after unretiring and starting at quarterback for the first time since the 2020 campaign. He's not Dennis Quaid in Disney's The Rookie. For frame of reference, Quaid played a former baseball player who was 35 years old at the time of his MLB debut.

Philip Rivers made his first start in five years on Sunday, but with Anthony Richardson cleared to resume activities, could the return be brief?

The Colts fell to 8-6 after Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks. According to the NFL Playoff Picture prediction model, they still have a 17% chance of making the playoffs. They head into their next game third in the AFC South and eighth in the conference. Indianapolis has three games left in the regular season, including Sunday against the Niners.

The Indianapolis Colts saw enough from Philip Rivers in Week 15 to give him the offensive reins yet again. Philip Rivers is set to make another improbable start, as Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the 44-year-old quarterback will start Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Though his Hall of Fame candidacy now has to wait, Rivers unlocked some important health benefits with his return.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen prefers being the aggressive play-caller. He likes taking chances on third down, would rather go for it on fourth down than punt and enjoys finding creative ways to stretch the field. Right now, though, Steichen can't simply rely on his instincts.

The Seattle Seahawks outlasted 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers threw a touchdown pass after coming out of retirement to make his first start in nearly five years.

The longtime Atlanta Falcons star quarterback has been asked in the past about a comeback, but a return doesn't go beyond a fun idea
