Philip Rivers' off-the-field stats are impressive. 

On the field, he was even more impressive.  He epitomized what it meant to be a Charger, as his leadership, grit, and toughness were one of a kind. 

Here are some of the former face of San Diego's best mic'd up moments:

And in true Rivers fashion, here's an old clip from his 37th birthday, where the Bolts' official Twitter compiled 37 (of I'm sure the many, many more) seconds of "Phil being Phil."

His presence at the LA-Denver game was great to see, and while the Bolts weren't able to pull away with a victory, he was there to remind us of how grateful the organization should be to have gone straight from him to Justin Herbert.
