We all tuned into Monday Night Football for the nostalgia trip. We wanted to see if 44-year-old Philip Rivers could still sling it like it was 2013. But while Rivers occupied the pre-game headlines, it was Brock Purdy who decided to rewrite the history books at Lucas Oil Stadium. In a 48-27 drubbing of the…
