Rivers Wants To Improve Completion Percentage
21st November, 2009 - 11:27 am
North County Times - Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is looking to improve on his completion percentage.

Rivers has 2,476 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and just six interceptions, but wasn't happy with his 60.6 completion percentage heading into last week's game against the Eagles.

In that game, a San Diego win, Rivers went 20-for-25.

"That's one area I felt I could be better in," Rivers said after Friday's practice. "I needed to throw more completions. The percentage has been a bit lower than it has in the past. I generally don't buy into all these stats, but a high completion percentage is important. That means you're moving the chains and making things happen. I'm not afraid to throw the ball away, but if you're connecting at a high rate it certainly helps establish a rhythm and helps the team get first downs." [READ]
