Rivers was named ACC Athlete of the Year in 2004 and was also named the game MVP of 4 bowl games, two Tangerine Bowls, a Gator Bowl and the 2004 Senior Bowl. [7]
He only threw passes in the second half of the last game of the 2004 season (a win over Kansas City), by which time the Chargers had already clinched a home playoff spot and the AFC West division title. [...] Phillip River was in the 2004 NFL Draft, Rivers was obtained in a draft-day trade with the New York Giants — the Chargers drafted quarterback Eli Manning (despite a statement that he would not play for them) with the first overall pick, and subsequently traded him to the Giants in exchange for Rivers (whom the Giants selected with the 4th overall pick), New York’s third round pick in 2004, and their first and fifth round picks in 2005.

Another knee injury in the Bolts’ Divisional Playoff game also sent him to the sideline, but Rivers refused to let it end his season. [...] During the Chargers’ eight-game winning streak that led up to the AFC Championship Game (including Wild Card and Divisional Playoff games), he completed 133 of 214 passes (62.1%) for 1,656 yards with 14 TDs and only five INTs for a rating of 98.2, nearly 16 points higher than his cumulative season rating (82.4).
