Philip Rivers had just pulled off the unthinkable, making an audacious NFL comeback that never had been attempted.
But in the aftermath of the Indianapolis Colts\' 18-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Rivers -- the 44-year-old quarterback who returned to the field five years after retirement -- remained just as competitive as he was during any of his 17 previous seasons.
\"I\'m grateful that I was out there, and it was a blast,\" Rivers said. \"But, obviously, the emotions now are disappointment. This isn\'t about me. We\'ve got a team that was scrapping like crazy to try to stay alive and get in the postseason, so obviously, we\'re all disappointed.
\"We came up just short.\"
