Rivers: 13 completions for 151 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, -3 yards rushing

Those numbers don't really tell the entire story.
Rivers was 13 out of 17 for a 142 QB rating and no turnovers.
Pryor was 13 out of 28 for a 72 QB rating with a red zone interception, a bonehead not getting out of bounds to run out the end of the first half when they could have tried a long FG, and another fumble that he batted out of bounds for a penalty. He is VERY raw.
Clearly he is a big, strong, fast guy who can buy time and make plays, but...
