00:00They did it. They did it, people. It's the Indianapolis Colts. We thought coming into

00:04this season, that's a wait and see, and maybe Anthony Richardson is going to be your quarterback,

00:07and we talked about it so much, like, hey, the betting markets are saying who's going to be the

00:11starter opening day, and for a while in the summer, it was Anthony Richardson, only to find Daniel

00:15Jones beat him out, and rightfully so. Daniel Jones was very good over the first, what, seven or eight

00:19games? Injuries step in. Story goes back to Daniel Jones of the New York Giants. Now he's out with

00:24a broken leg slash Achilles injury and not coming back. Riley Leonard stepped into the fold last

00:29week, and he looked pretty good against the Jacksonville Jaguars show, so much where I

00:33wanted to go back and watch every snap he took against the Jaguars to try to see if there's any

00:37value this week, only to find out he has a knee injury and is possibly not going to play, which

00:42means the Colts would be without a quarterback, because I guess they banished Anthony Richardson

00:46to the back of the building. Signed 44-year-old Phillip Rivers after a Monday night workout.

00:52The question's going to be, how quickly can he assimilate and start on this football team,

00:57and can it be this weekend? He's 44. He hasn't played in a couple, it feels like a decade

01:03in the NFL, and he's coming back. Good on you, Phil.

01:08Donnie, I'm telling you, it is the story none of us knew we needed at this season here in

01:13the NFL, and I am all for it. You want to take on father time? I am all for it. Let's go,

01:20Phillip Rivers. Let's see what you got. But I think it does speak to just how, I mean,

01:26think about where this Colts team started this year, and think about where they are right now,

01:31right? What an unbelievable situation here, because a lot of us doubted that Daniel Jones

01:37was going to be any sort of placeholder until you could figure out what was going on with

01:42Richardson. But I think we all agreed, Richardson, that probably wasn't going to be the answer here.

01:48And then we were unbelievably, pleasantly surprised with Daniel Jones and the start they had.

01:53But then he got hurt. Richardson, we all knew, was probably not going to be playing football this

01:59year. And now they're left with Riley Leonard, who's hurt. And now you got to go to a 44-year-old

02:04Phillip Rivers. It has gone from bad, it's gone from great to absolutely what choice do we have

02:12with the Indianapolis Colts? That is not great as you head into week 15 in a playoff race,

02:17if you are the Colts. It's unbelievable the up and down rollercoaster season this team has had.
