Report: Philip Rivers Could Be Benched for Tyrod Taylor; Chargers Hope to Avoid

The Los Angeles Chargers could make a change at quarterback in light of Philip Rivers' ongoing struggles. 

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn will consider playing Tyrod Taylor if Rivers continues to turn the ball over. 

Rapoport did note Lynn won't have a quick hook on Rivers, and they hope to avoid making a switch.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Jameis Winston is the only quarterback with more interceptions (20) this season than Rivers (14).

Of the 14 interceptions, seven have come in the past two games against the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.

Following the Chargers' 24-17 loss to Kansas City on Nov. 18, Lynn told reporters he wasn't "going to entertain" benching Rivers yet.

"I'm going to evaluate everything, and right now Philip Rivers is our starting quarterback," Lynn said. "But I'm not going to single one position out. I'm looking at everybody. We're 4-7. Everybody can be doing something better."

Rivers is on pace to have the worst touchdown percentage (3.6) and second-highest interception percentage (3.4) since becoming the Chargers' starter in 2006. His 219 consecutive starts is the longest active streak in the NFL by a quarterback.

Los Angeles is two games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for the final wild-card spot in the AFC and will likely need to win out to have a chance at the playoffs.

Rivers will look to get himself and the Chargers back on track Sunday at the Denver Broncos (3-8).
