» How quickly will Philip Rivers get back into the swing of things within Frank Reich's offense?
By now it's been mentioned several times how Philip Rivers, who signed with the Colts as a free agent in March after spending the first 16 seasons of his career with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, has plenty of experience working with head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni. From 2013-15, Reich served as Rivers' quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator in San Diego, while Sirianni was an offensive quality control coach and then quarterbacks coach on that same staff. In total in Rivers' three seasons under Reich and Sirianni with the Chargers, he ranked, on average, second in the NFL in completion percentage, fifth in passing yards, fifth in touchdown passes, sixth in passer rating, seventh in fewest interceptions and ninth in yards per pass attempt. That familiarity was critical in the Colts' decision to make a change at quarterback heading into 2020, and now it's time to put it all to action when Indy kicks off the regular season Sept. 13 on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
