As you reflect on the difficulties of navigating a new team, coupled with the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic, Rivers has begun to choke.
“It’s really a neat team, I know you heard me say it. I think under these circumstances, I personally know for myself, developing the type of connection and camaraderie we had was very special,” said Rivers. “You know, all the protocols. And to only be here in August … It was a great team to be a part of. It’s definitely disappointing to end up like this if you just believe it’s the year. ‘
BILLS WIN FIRST PLAYOFF GAME SINCE 1995, GO TO AFC SECTION
Rivers were 27-for-36 with 309 passing yards and two touchdowns. One was for Jack Doyle and the other for Zach Pascal. Michael Pittman Jr. led Colts receivers with five catches for 90 yards.
