BTW- Where did you get 38 tds? It was 31 (he also had 2 passing td's but they don't count towards the record) but even if you count those two it's 33.

Also, Rivers wasn't asked to throw 4 td's in a game or to win the game. He was a manager of the game last year and he was asked not to make mistakes and make sure the ball got from the center, to LT and let LT do the rest. I am not trying to cut down Rivers, but he was not the reason why the Chargers did that good last year.
