Philip Rivers<\/a>\u2019 return to the NFL has many former quarterbacks over the age of 40 wondering if they could turn back the clock and perform at a similarly high level.<\/p>\n

If anything, they should at least take note of what Rivers did in the first half for the Indianapolis Colts against the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 semifinalist put on a vintage performance in the first half against the 49ers, delighting NFL fans<\/a> who tuned into the game on Monday night.<\/p>\n

He started the night coming out to cheers from Colts fans<\/a> at Lucas Oil Stadium \u2013 his family also in attendance. The Colts went nine plays, 72 yards and Rivers found wide receiver Alec Pierce for a 20-yard touchdown. Indianapolis jumped out to a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n

San Francisco scored on back-to-back drives thanks to Brock Purdy hooking up with Demarcus Robinson, the special teams forcing a turnover, and then Purdy throwing a touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey. When Rivers got the ball back, he drove down the field again.<\/p>\n

The Colts scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Rivers to Pierce to end a 12-play, 66-yard drive. The game was tied with a lot of time to go in the first half.<\/p>\n

Indianapolis trailed 24-17 at the half. But the attention was on Rivers.<\/p>\n

He was 14-of-21 with 175 passing yards and two touchdown passes. The last time he threw multiple touchdown passes in the regular season was on Dec. 20, 2020, against the Houston Texans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rivers came back to the Colts last week at the age of 44. He had a solid performance against the Seattle Seahawks for someone who hadn\u2019t thrown a ball in nearly five years.<\/p>\n

Now, the Colts\u2019 playoff hopes rest on his shoulders.<\/p>\n
