Rivers gets the start for the Colts today after the team lost Daniel Jones to a season-ending achilles injury, while backup Riley Leonard is also injured. That caused the Colts to bring Rivers out of retirement.
The quarterback was coaching St. Michael Catholic High School in Alabama when he got the call from the Colts. Rivers, who originally retired in 2021, is also in his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, but will give that up if he plays in today’s game. He’ll have to wait again to be on the Hall of Fame ballot.
Rivers is also a devout family man outside of football and he previously retired to spend more time with his wife Tiffany and their ten children. Their oldest child, Halle, had a child of her own last November, making Rivers an official grandfather.
Despite the feel-good comeback, the 10-3 Seahawks are the favorites to win over the Colts in today’s matchup.
