As every NFL fan knows, Philip Rivers has come out of retirement to join the Indianapolis Colts. Will this be a one-and-done season for the quarterback or could he return in 2026?

This is one of the most bizarre stories in sports history. Rivers is 44 years old and hasn’t played in five years. During his previous stint in the NFL (the 2020 season), he led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth.

Indianapolis lost to the Buffalo Bills 27-24 in the postseason that year. Rivers threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns during the game. His touchdown passes were to Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal. Neither player is currently on an NFL roster.

During the 2020 campaign, Rivers passed for 4,169 yards and 24 touchdowns. He then retired. The Colts haven’t made the playoffs since that year.
