Philip Rivers wants to set the record straight. TV cameras appeared to catch Rivers saying ''This is the worst day ever,'' moments after he fumbled away the snap on Monday night at Kansas City as the San Diego Chargers were driving to what appeared to be certain victory in the last minute of regulation. Instead, the Chiefs recovered and went on to win 23-20 in overtime. Rivers claimed Wednesday that he didn't say that. `'It may have been the worst play I've ever been a part of, but it wasn't the worst day,'' Rivers said as the Chargers began preparing to face the undefeated Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Regardless of what he said, Rivers said it was a rough way to lose.
