Its the NFLs third-longest active streak for quarterbacks.On Sunday Ryan will be matched with the name immediately ahead of him on the list, San Diegos Philip Rivers, whose streak began in 2006 and reached 166 regular-season starts with last weeks win over Denver.Among active quarterbacks, Eli Manning leads the ironman list with his streak of 189 games, well behind Brett Favres record of 297.Rivers is known for his quick release, a skill which helps reduce hits from pass rushers.I just feel thankful Ive been blessed to be healthy enough to play, Rivers said Wednesday. ... I think all of us quarterbacks take a certain amount of pride in being tough and fighting through things to make sure you are out there for your team.Ryan said his secret is sleep -- at least nine hours per night.Theres no getting around it, sleep is the No. 1 most important thing, Ryan said Wednesday. Every study that you look at, every time you try to do any research on recovery, on training, whatever, any kind of performance-enhancing stuff, it all comes down to sleep.Ryan, 31, acknowledged it takes effort to maintain his sleep schedule.Youve got to force yourself to go to bed early, he said. Its just something Ive worked on throughout my career and Ive gottenn better and better.dddddddddddd Im an early to bed kind of guy and up early in the morning.Rivers, 34, had a good explanation for why he aims lower when it comes to sleep.I do think rest is important, but also I have eight children, Rivers said. In my mind, if I get over 6 hours, Im in good shape.Ryan started every game in his 2008 rookie season, missed two starts with a toe injury in 2009 and hasnt missed another game.You have to do a really good job of taking care of your body all year, Ryan said. It starts from when the season ends and its basically a never-ending process throughout the year of trying to take care of yourself and ensure youre going to be ready to take the pounding that comes with going through a season.Coach Dan Quinn said Ryan shines in his CT score for competes and toughs.Its when you throw a slant when the defensive end is right about to drill you and then you step into it and make it anyway, Quinn said. Thats why Matt has earned so much respect through the years, and Philip as well.Chargers coach Mike McCoy said Ryan and Rivers share a love for the game that helps to keep them on the field.Theyre competitors who truly love to go out and play the game, McCoy said. They work extremely hard. Ive known coaches who have coached Matt. Everyone says his work ethic, the way he loves the game, the way he prepares, thats the way Phillip is, too. They do it the right way, and thats what the great ones in the game do.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32e do.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.apl=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticmlb.com/]Wholesale Baseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
