The Colts look to their No. 3 QB of the season, starting with Nick Foles against the Chargers

For the second time this season, Matt Ryan has been placed in the bank.

Something had to give after that Indianapolis Colts He blew a 33-point deficit last week, allowing the biggest comeback in NFL history Minnesota Vikings. It wasn’t all Ryan’s fault, but he will take the bench for Game 16 in the week. Los Angeles Chargers.

Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday said Nick Folesthe first Philadelphia Eagles‘Super Bowl hero, it starts on Monday night. Foles is expected to start the rest of the season. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

Ryan was benched at the start of the season. Frank Reich pulled him Sam Ehlinger, which was a surprising move at the time. Ryan has been plagued by turnovers and poor play all season. He inserted Ryan as the starter when he got the job on Saturday, but that hasn’t helped much. The Colts won their first game as coach on Saturday against the team Las Vegas Raiders, but then lost four in a row. The collapse against the Vikings was a huge embarrassment.

The Colts traded for Ryan in the offseason. Ryan has a league-leading 13 tackles despite missing two games. He has also done it an astonishing 15 times. The Colts are 4-9-1, have already fired their coach and been benched twice.

Foles has not thrown a pass this season and has only thrown 35 Chicago Bears last season He has been on four teams in the five seasons since winning the Super Bowl MVP. He was added to the Colts primarily because of his familiarity with Reich, but he will get a chance to start on an Indianapolis team that is playing the ball this season.
