It would have been more surprising if the Colts already turned away from Rivers, whom they clearly prefer to Riley Leonard. But this isn't positive news for the team's pass-catchers.
Rivers managed a whopping 4.4 yards per pass attempt while racking up 120 passing yards in the near-upset of the Seahawks. Backup RB Ameer Abdullah led the team in receptions (5) and receiving yards (32).
If you survived Week 15 with Michael Pittman Jr. or Tyler Warren in your lineup, you should be concerned and considering your other options.
