If they had beaten Philadelphia

Espn story on philip rivers

The closest Rivers came to a comeback was during the 2022-23 playoffs, when San Francisco got to the NFC title game despite injuries to Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy.

Rivers even began to attend videoconference meetings with the 49ers to learn the playbook and game plan. If the Niners had beaten the Eagles to advance to the Super Bowl that year, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan admitted this week that Rivers would have been their quarterback against the Chiefs. "He was always in there, but no one really knew," Shanahan said. "He was always ready if the moment happened."

Hollywood writers would turn that down as too far-fetched
