"Philip Rivers, who averaged just more than 11 interceptions in his first five seasons as a starter, has been picked off 19 times this season.

That's more than any Chargers quarterback since Craig Whelihan was intercepted 19 times in 1998. Not since 1986, when Dan Fouts was intercepted 22 times, has a Chargers quarterback had more passes taken away in a season.

Rivers knows about his statistical drop-off as well as anyone and has repeatedly expressed his disappointment in his overall performance in 2011."
