How to Catch Philip Rivers, Colts vs. Seahawks Action

It's been an absolutely wild time for Indianapolis recently. This squad went from the NFL's best, to an absolutely winded version of themselves in no time at all.

Even before Jones' Achilles injury, the Colts' offense looked completely exposed as teams began to sell out defensively to stop Jonathan Taylor.

While Jones played some of his last few games with a fractured fibula, the Colts still started slipping badly after their Week 9 beatdown from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now, the Colts are likely rolling with the one known as 'Uncle Phil' to help balance the offense.

Rivers may not be mobile or potentially possess the same zip on his passes as his prime, but he knows the playbook of Shane Steichen like the back of his hand.

The two have stayed in communication consistently since his retirement, discussing game plans and schemes.

This makes sense, as Rivers was coaching his son Gunnar's high school football team (St. Michael Catholic) using the same scheme as Steichen in Indianapolis.

Given how fast Indianapolis needed a quarterback, while still in a position to make the playoffs, they felt it was best to get Rivers onto the field.

This will be must-see television merely because Rivers is returning out of retirement to try and shoulder the unenviable task of saving the Colts' season.

It won't be easy, and don't expect Rivers to turn back the clock to his Los Angeles Chargers (or Colts) days.

However, if he can somehow level this offense, use his pass-catchers well, and get support from Taylor in the ground game, there's a chance Rivers shocks the NFL world with an upset against the Seahawks.
