Rivers Tells Fans to ‘Shut Up’
Early in last Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, Philip Rivers told the fans to shut up after they were booing him.
“Again, it’s an emotional game. To be honest with you, I love the fans,” Rivers said with a laugh on Monday. “I mean, I really do. It was early in the game, it was the first series, you’re coming off a completion. and it wasn’t necessarily for me, it was kind of like for our team, like saying, ‘Hey, relax a little bit.’
“But again, we understand some of their frustrations in a sense that we were 5-5 and expectations were so high. Again, it was nothing more than that. Shoot, we’ve all told our sibling or brother to shut up before and then you love them five minutes later, so I hope that’s the case.”
There’s no telling what is the root cause of San Diego’s struggles this season. Could be Rivers, or it could be Norv Turner? Whatever the cause, the Chargers are somehow still in first place in the West with a 6-5 record. Feels weird thinking that fans will boo a first place team.
