Philip Rivers and Joe Burrow are at very different stages in their career. While Joe Burrow is young, bright eyed, and making a name for himself as the 1st overall draft pick for the Cincinnati Bengals, Rivers is in the twilight zone of his career as his 39th birthday approaches.
The two quarterbacks are also at very different stages of life. While Burrow is just coming out of a successful college tenure at LSU, Rivers is already a known family man. In fact, he’s perhaps the biggest family man the league has ever seen not named Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie.
Gunner, Halle, Clare, Sarah, Grace, Rebecca, Caroline, Peter, and Anna. Those are the names of all nine kids between Philip and Tiffany Rivers. The “stat” is so impressive, someone at FOX decided to include it in the quarterback comparison during the Colts-Bengals broadcast.
While the inclusion of Rivers’ children is obviously the most entertaining part of the graphic, an underrated piece is the difference between passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns. Through the air, Rivers has a 403-6 lead.
On the ground… 3-2.
This wasn’t the only attention the graphics received, however. Fans also noticed how, let’s say “generous”, the illustrator was in some cases.
We’re here for it.
