Pretty sure I saw a photo of him and Jones hugging it out after the game.

Rivers...I dunno...I can't hate this guy
https://arrowheadaddict.com/2019/12/...-fan-chargers/
“First of all, I was trying to see as many of those Chiefs guys as I could and wish ’em the best moving forward. Knowing that feeling that there’s more football left and you’re one of 12 is exciting and then to obviously find out that they get a bye and all… I love to go at it with those guys, as everybody knows, but I also have a great respect for guys and how they play and how hard they play, so afterward you wish them the best and tell them, ‘Go get em!'” Later on, Rivers was asked about his verbal sparring with Chris Jones and what he thought of the Chiefs defensive tackle. You might be surprised at what he said. “That was the first play of the game and I thought my leg was broke but thankfully it wasn’t,” said Rivers. “It was one of those deals where I thought it was a little cheap, just because I didn’t think he had to finish me. It was already called underneath and then he kinda finished me. But again, we talked after the game and even during a little break in the action. Shoot, it’s all good. Some of that is good for me to get me going a little bit. But shoot, what a player he is now. He’s up there, if not one, he’s a close second [among] defensive tackles in the league. He’s a heckuva player.” |

I've always liked rivers and the chargers are by far my least hated divisional rival (I still dislike the Seahawks more). But I think I like him more because they've never won anything. If his teams would have ever been great I think he would have become unbearable.
I would liken him to Stafford in that sense as someone else did but I've never gotten the impression that stafford would ever be anything other than what he is. I wish stafford would have a true contending team before he retires; rivers, I hope plays out his career on the chargers and maybe makes the playoffs as a wildcard a couple more times. |

I can't say I hate the guy. But I always enjoyed watching him lose.
I wish him the best of luck in his life after football. I really believe he should walk away and enjoy his baseball team size family. |

Glad I’m not the only one.
Fiery competitor, candid, funny, family man. I’ve always liked him, and loved beating him. |

Rivers was just another all-time great player whose HOF career was squandered by the Spanos family. Although he also didn't help himself by stepping in to save Norv's job multiple times and not demanding a trade when they moved to LA.

It's easy to detest him when he starts screaming at everyone because he's losing. Ridiculous. No question he leaves it all on the field though. He'll charge a machine gun nest for ya.

That was a great interview. I like how honest he is in a lot of the answers as opposed to just giving non-answers.

He will be missed. He was a thorn in the side of the Chiefs for a lot of years. Always seems to be good for the untimely interception or fumble. Has always been surrounded by a lot of talent and can't seem to get it done. Always gave the Chiefs trouble and that shot put delivery seems to work well for him.
Best of luck Phyllis, the NFL could use more players like him. |

My mind changed when he was interviewed after winning at Denver on the road a long time ago.
It was the game where one of Denver’s scumbag linemen tried to end the career of a defender by diving into his legs at the end. |

The real issues are that the Chargers started drafting poorly, kept Norv way too long and then hired Milquetoast McCoy to replace him. |
