After spending his first two seasons in a backup role, Rivers served as the Chargers' starting quarterback from 2006 to 2019. During his tenure, he was named to eight Pro Bowls while leading the team to four division titles and six postseason appearances. Rivers also helped the franchise win their first playoff game since 1994 during the 2007 season, culminating in a trip to the AFC Championship Game. With the Colts in 2020, he qualified for the playoffs a seventh time as a starter. He was less successful in the postseason, however, where he compiled a 5–7 record and never made a Super Bowl appearance.
