Too bad like the Bengals game this season, he has come up short when it counts.

Maybe I’m alone in this opinion, but I think Philip Rivers is wildly overrated.
Exhibit A: His career playoff record is 3-4.
Exhibit B: He has never played in a Super Bowl.
Exhibit C: His career playoff stats are as follows:
Game 1 (Loss, 24-21 vs. New England): 14-32, 230 YD, 0 TD, 1 INT.
Suffered lisfranc injury in week 17 and didn't practice during bye week; played meh-ly.
Game 2 (Win, 17-6 vs. Tennessee): 19-30, 292 YD, 1TD, 1 INT.
Sprained MCL late in season. First half played poorly; second half well.
Game 3 (Win, 28-24 vs. Indianapolis): 14-19, 264 YD, 3 TD, 1 INT.
Played great. Tears ACL last play of 3rd quarter.
Game 4 (Loss, 21-12 vs. New England): 19-37, 211 YD, 0 TD, 2 INT.
Played very well, but the stats are garbage. Couldve possibly turned one of the FGs into a TD if he saw that VJ was open and a bad forced INT immediately after Vrabel's BS uncalled personal foul trip that turned into an INT (thanks for the effort Chris Chambers).
Game 5 (Win, 23-17 vs. Indianapolis): 20-36, 217 YD, 0 TD, 1 INT.
Below average game.
Game 6 (Loss, 35-24 vs. Pittsburgh): 21-35, 308 YD, 3 TD, 1 INT.
Played well. SD ran one offensive play in the 3rd quarter. Tipped ball at the line is intercepted.
Game 7 (Loss, 17-14 vs. NYJ): 27-40, 298 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT.
Played average until back-breaking INT late.
For those scoring at home, that’s at best three solid performances in seven postseason games.
The prosecution rests.
