Lost in the excitement of Volek, Turner, Sproles, and the defending champs losing at home was a career-making performance by Philip Rivers. Rivers has always been an emotional player, and I think that leads to some streakiness. (Remember the incredible fourth-quarter in the regular season against the Titans?)

Well, Rivers has been on some kind of streak the last game in a half. Playing two of the very best pass defenses in the league, Rivers has gone 26/36-for 460 yards, four touchdowns, and one pick since halftime against Tennessee. That's 12.7 yards-per-attempt! And while he benefited from some blown coverages against Tennessee, Rivers made some of the prettiest passes you'll ever see against the Colts. Owners of Rivers and Vincent Jackson especially have to be wondering where this was all season.
