San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and running back Christian McCaffrey share their impressions of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers.

Rivers, 44, says he didn't return to motivate, but there is a lesson in his start Sunday for the kids he coaches in Alabama.

The Colts didn’t check in with Andrew Luck before turning to Philip Rivers. Luck, the retired quarterback, said his former team never gave him a chance to ponder an NFL comeback during a Wednesday appearance on “The Jim Rome Show .” “I had zero chances to say no,” Luck, 36, said.

New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn joked about making a playing comeback at 53. Inspired by quarterback Philip Rivers' return, Glenn humorously announced plans to play in the Jets' final games this season against New England and Buffalo.

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — St. Michael Head Football Coach Philip Rivers connected on 18-of-27 passes, including one for a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts’ 18-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15.

Rivers completed 18 of his 27 passes for 120 yards and led a drive that put the Colts ahead with less than a minute left.

The Seahawks were ready for a different version of the previously prolific passer.
