Philip Rivers Shines in Comeback Game Against 49ers

In a remarkable comeback, 44-year-old Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes against the San Francisco 49ers in his second game back in the NFL. According to Pro Football Talk, Rivers connected with Alec Pierce for both touchdowns, the first giving the Colts an early 7-0 lead and the second tying the game at 14-14.

Rivers demonstrated his enduring talent by completing 10 of 15 passes for 137 yards in just the first quarter, a promising start for the veteran quarterback. However, despite his impressive performance, the Colts ultimately fell to the 49ers, with a final score of 48-27, as highlighted by Outkick.
