The Indianapolis Colts saw enough from Philip Rivers in Week 15 to give him the offensive reins yet again. Philip Rivers is set to make another improbable start, as Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the 44-year-old quarterback will start Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Philip Rivers earned another start for the Indianapolis Colts with his performance Sunday at Seattle, his first NFL game in five seasons.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen prefers being the aggressive play-caller. He likes taking chances on third down, would rather go for it on fourth down than punt and enjoys finding creative ways to stretch the field. Right now, though, Steichen can't simply rely on his instincts.

Rivers completed 18 of 27 passes (66.6%) for 120 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the Colts’ 18-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. On his podcast “The Right Time with Bomani Jones,” Jones criticized the Colts for their decision to start Rivers.

In the 26-0 victory over the Vikings in Week 13, the Seahawks offense recorded just 219 total yards. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, Seattle was tied at the halftime break, 6-6. What kind of faith do we have in this Seahawks offense? At the very least, they are prone to slow starts.
