April 2020 - Indianapolis Colts Wiretap
Philip Rivers completed his first pass on Thursday night, an 11-yard strike to Jonathan Taylor, that allowed him to pass Dan Marino on the NFL's all-time passing yardage list.
Rivers entered the game needing just three yards to pass Marino (61,361 yards).
"It's special, it's special," Rivers said. "Those guys up there on that list, I don't know that I'm in their category and that's OK, but Dan Marino was on my wall. He was a poster on my wall as a young boy in Decatur and Athens, Alabama, so it's special.
"Thankful that I've been able to play long enough. Thankful that I've been healthy enough to play over 230 in a row now and watching Dan Marino, meeting Dan Marino at the Senior Bowl, playing against his teams, it's all special. It's all just special and thankful that here, at 38, I'm still getting out here and competing and playing the game I love."
