They mentioned this stat during the game. Philip Rivers is the first QB to have 3 straight games of passing for 300 yards or more against a Bill Belichick coached Patriots. You would have thought that Peyton Manning would be the one holding that title.

He's 0-3 in those games and 1-5 against the Pats overall, no?

Put me down for "unimpressed".

False. He lost last season but the one before that he won. It was the year you guys had Matt Cassell.

Most of us do not question his talent. He can light up the sky.

Do not question his heart - consider that
play off game he started with a knee brace.

Tough dude...

Yeah, I corrected my post to 1-5 (0-5 head to head vs. Brady)

Yawn.

Yes, you could mention him in the same sentence with younger version of Peyton Manning - - the one who couldn't beat Tom Brady for 5 years in the early part of last decade.

I'm sorry LightningBolt, but 300 yards doesn't really cut it as impressive in these parts this year. That's 36% below Brady's average so far this year against "top-5 D's" Miami and San Diego.

Rivers is an excellent QB. It's been nice to see him mature as a person too. He doesn't seem to be such an ass out there. He is starting to act like a professional and it shows in his game. Certainly seems to have separated himself from that jerk Cutler and I would definitely put him in top 5 in qb talk.

Congrats on the moral victory

I hate these stupid stats..just like no QB has throw for 500 then 400 ect ect ect

Wow he beat Cassell? I take back everything I've said this week about the chargers fans being delusional. No wonder we were going to get beat 45-3.

I was pissed at the not-so-super-chargers losing twice to the raiders last season and messing with our pick but we ended up with Solder so it's forgiven. But this year we have their 2nd. So do me a favor and tell Rivers to man up for once.

Philips the first QB to get 300+ yards while also losing those three games in a row against the Pats. Congrats. My bad, he beat Matt Cassel!
