Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid: "Philip Rivers is having an unbelievable year. That guy is incredible…With Philip Rivers, if we went and played at the 7-11 parking lot, he's going to bring it. We just know how that rolls."

*Analyst Mike Tirico: *"What Philip Rivers has done is incredible to me. In my mind, Philip Rivers is an underappreciated quarterback nationally. Game after game, he is a difference maker with his willingness and his talent."

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers:**"I've got a ton of respect for Philip. He's been around a long time; he was drafted the year before I was. He got a chance after one year on the bench and he's done it at a high level for a long time. He has great anticipation, has nice, subtle movement in the pocket and he's a tough guy. You've got to respect Philip with the injuries that he's played with and he's done it for so many years in a row. That's what consistency looks like; it's how Philip's done it. It's impressive and he has the respect of his peers."

Denver Broncos Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips: "Any quarterback that passes Joe Montana for number of touchdown passes is certainly one to be reckoned with, and he's still going strong. Philip Rivers is having a great year. He's been a great quarterback for a long time. He's obviously a guy we're concerned with. He can beat you throwing the ball. He had one game where he had 500 yards passing and no interceptions. That's incredible. I know Philip pretty well. I was there with him. We drafted him when I was there. He's a great person, but he's also a great competitor. (He's a) good trash talker, too….He's real nice when he trash talks. His competitiveness is similar to some of the great quarterbacks I've been around. Jim Kelly was that one—not trash talking, but just great competitors. Obviously, John Elway was too. They want to beat you in anything they do. He's one of those guys."

*Kansas City Chiefs Linebacker Tamba Hali: *"I believe Philip Rivers is one of the premiere passing quarterbacks in our league. He makes plays….He's a competitor. I got to know him a little bit at the Pro Bowl. He plays with a lot of confidence. There's no need to talk trash to Philip because he feeds off of that so we're not going to give him what he needs. Basically, if we start talking trash, he may play better."
