How many touchdowns did Philip Rivers throw for in 2015? He threw 29 touchdown passes. Rivers reached that total in all 16 games of the 2015 regular season with the San Diego Chargers, completing 437 of 661 attempts for 4,792 yards.
The season was one of Rivers’ most productive in volume. He ranked among the league leaders in passing yards and attempts while guiding a Chargers offense that frequently had to throw to stay competitive. His 29 touchdown passes were paired with 13 interceptions, and his passer rating was 93.8.
The wording can cause a small but important confusion: “touchdowns did he throw for” means passing touchdowns, not total touchdowns scored by Rivers personally or touchdowns scored by the Chargers. Rivers was a quarterback, so the statistic counts touchdown completions to his receivers. His 2015 total also differs from nearby seasons: he threw 31 in 2014, 32 in 2013, and 33 in 2016. The 29 figure refers specifically to the 2015 regular season, excluding any hypothetical postseason total.
