When the Indianapolis Colts fell to 1-4, their playoff hopes looked dim at best. And while their Christmas wishes were not answered officially on Saturday night, beating the Arizona Cardinals, 22-16, put them one step closer to making the postseason at 9-6, with their sixth victory in their past seven games. Jonathan Taylor notched his ninth 100-yard game of his brilliant season, keeping him in the MVP discussion, and Carson Wentz overcame some rocky patches in the game to make a brilliant TD… Source link

Philip Rivers turned 39 years old in December. He’s not going to ignore the obvious. Time is running out in his football career. Tom Brady had a great season at 43 years old, so maybe Rivers has a few years left. But Brady is an anomaly. Rivers is on a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Maybe he’s back next season. The Carson Wentz discussion involving Indianapolis will be fierce. If the Colts move on, perhaps another team will want Rivers. It’s not guaranteed, with another deep… Source link
