The Los Angeles Chargers were eliminated from the NFL playoffs on Sunday, and they were knocked out in dominating fashion.
The Chargers fell behind 35-7 against the New England Patriots and didn’t make the score respectable until a few late touchdowns to make it 41-28. Frustrated by his team struggling and getting rolled, Philip Rivers began acting out. He could be seen whining to officials and getting frustrated with his teammates.
This video compilation shows Rivers’ behavior throughout the game:
I know Philip Rivers has the "good family guy" image but if Brady acted like he did today it would be the lead of every sports show in America. He yelled at & berated officials the entire game. I get the occasional complaint but despite no real egregious calls, he was relentless. pic.twitter.com/sB9x3wRT9u

Rivers is known for being competitive and is a great heel because he’s so animated. This sort of thing is nothing new for him. Opponents even love playing against him because of his trash talk.
While not the most flattering display, his behavior was understandable as he saw his dream season getting ripped away by the Patriots in ugly fashion.
