The Indianapolis Colts (8-5) visit the Seattle Seahawks (10-3) in NFL Week 15 action, and this game is drawing a lot of interest for a most unusual reason.
Quarterback Philip Rivers, a 44-year-old grandfather who was a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist, starts in the wake of Daniel Jones’ season-ending Achilles injury and Riley Leonard’s injured knee. Leonard remains on the active roster, and Brett Rypien has been moved up from the practice squad.

NFL world reacts to Philip Rivers coming out of retirement
Former Colts coach Frank Reich, retired quarterbacks Alex Smith and Kurt Warner, and former teammates are intrigued.
Why is Philip Rivers coming out of retirement?
Rivers coaches the St. Michael Catholic football team in Alabama. The team’s season ended a couple of weeks ago. “I’d not given any thought of actually playing again until about 48 hours ago, to be honest with you, but this wasn’t just any place or any coach,” Rivers said Wednesday. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, shoot, I’ll see what happens in the league and see if I can get ready.’”
