No. 2: Philip Rivers – San Diego Chargers
Regular Season Record: 88-56
Postseason Record: 4-5
Rivers is an enigma. Seemingly flawless in some games, and then absolutely abysmal in others. The Chargers habit of starting slow in the regular season and then making a final push to the playoffs at the last minute has become an earmark of the Rivers years.
But you can’t deny Rivers’ ability to throw the ball. So far in his 11-year career, he’s put up some pretty impressive numbers, totaling 36,655 yards, 252 touchdowns and a career passer rating of 95.7…not too shabby.
But in the playoffs, Rivers gets muddy. His Chargers teams lose their swagger, and can’t seem to get over the hump to make a Super Bowl run. All of Rivers stats take a dip in postseason play, none more important than the win percentage.
