Philip Rivers emotional as he realizes he may have played final game with Chargers
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers may have played his final game with his team of 16 seasons Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Rivers appeared to get choked up during a postgame news conference in which he came face-to-face with the reality that he may not be back with Los Angeles next season.
He has been clear about playing in 2020 -- but it hasn’t been clear if he would be playing for the Bolts.

“There's a lot of questions that have to be answered,” Rivers said. “It’s not just, ‘Am I back,’ and we'll win 12 games. We're far from that being, ‘Check that box and we're good.’ That would be inaccurate. There’s a lot of question marks moving forward. As those get answered and how those get answered along with my personal question will clear up a lot of things.”
Rivers was 31-for-46 with 281 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions in the loss. He also got into a brief spat with Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones.
