Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers threw 20 interceptions last season with the Los Angeles Chargers; however, Colts coaches aren't concerned.

In a recent interview with 107.5 The Fan, Colts quarterback coach Marcus Brady explained why he doesn't think Rivers' 2019 interceptions are a big concern.

“We went back and watched every single interception,” Brady told 107.5 The Fan. A lot of those came in desperate situations. They were down two scores in the 4th quarter and on two-minute drives late in the games, so he’s pushing the ball down the field, because he had to, or else the game was going to get away from. I would say that’s about half of them. Were there some throws in there that he shouldn’t have made and had bad reads? Yes. But, overall, the accuracy was still there. He was deadly accurate. Still makes good decisions and he just has a wealth of knowledge. I think he’ll fit well in our system. I think what will help, and everybody has talked about, is our offensive line and is our run game. It’s going to take some pressure off of him.”

The Colts newcomer's 20 interceptions last season are tied for the second-most of his career. However, as Brady said, most of the interceptions came in desperate situations. Fifteen of Rivers' 20 interceptions came when the Chargers were trailing, and 9 of them came in the fourth quarter. Additionally, six were thrown in the final two minutes of games the Chargers trailed.

Rivers' interceptions may seem bad on paper for the Colts; however, if taking high-risk throws was the only chance the Chargers had to win late in the game, then it's understandable.
