New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman took to Twitter to honor Philip Rivers after he decided to retire from the NFL on Wednesday.
Rivers issued a statement about his decision to share a long list of thank-yous to the Indianapolis Colts, the Los Angeles Chargers, his teammates, his family, his coaches and the fans, among others.
Edelman shared a very quick message for Rivers: “Helluva career 17.”
Rivers was 142-114 over his career, but was 1-8 against the Patriots. He most recently matched up against New England in the divisional round of the playoffs after the 2018 season. The Patriots won, 41-28.
