The Seattle Seahawks outlasted 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers threw a touchdown pass after coming out of retirement to make his first start in nearly five years.

Seattle Seahawks nose tackle Jarran Reed beats his blocker and meets Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor in the backfield for a 3-yard loss in Week 15 at Lumen Field. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold connects with wide receiver Cooper Kupp on a 16-yard catch in the first half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Sunday was his first time being active since entering the NFL, just six days shy of a complete calendar year since sustaining the injury. He got to take the field for an elite defense, alongside all-pro caliber linemates like Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy, for a team that is in a fight for the top seed in the NFC.

In Phillip Rivers' return to the NFL, he provided the Indianapolis Colts with some juice and stability on offense. Rivers finished Sunday's game 18-for-27 passing for 120 yards with a touchdown and a late interception.

Since last playing, Philip Rivers has had another child — he has 10 now — and one of his daughters has given birth.

Seattle's defense remains a superpower and their special teams unit is strong, but the offense is looking shakier than ever.

In the 26-0 victory over the Vikings in Week 13, the Seahawks offense recorded just 219 total yards. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, Seattle was tied at the halftime break, 6-6. What kind of faith do we have in this Seahawks offense? At the very least, they are prone to slow starts.
