Rivers undecided about returning to Colts in 2021
Philip Rivers doesn't appear to be thinking too far into the future.
Following the Indianapolis Colts' wild-card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, the quarterback told reporters he hasn't made a decision about playing in 2021 yet, according to Jim Ayello of the Indianapolis Star.
"If it's God's will that I'm in Indy with the Colts next year, then I'll be here," Rivers said, according to The Athletic's Zak Keefer. "If not, I'll be on the sideline with a ballcap on my head, coaching football."
The 39-year-old signed a one-year contract with Indianapolis in March before contributing to the team's improvement from 7-9 a season ago to 11-5 in 2020.
The veteran also expressed disappointment about Saturday's result, saying Indianapolis could have advanced to the divisional round were it not for a few mistakes.
"We weren't outmatched, that was for sure," Rivers said, according to Keefer.
The eight-time Pro Bowler added that losing is harder because he's now "almost 40 and you think you (might be) walking up your last tunnel," according to Ayello.
Rivers completed 68% of his pass attempts for 4,169 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in his first season with the Colts.
