Nick Foles will replace 37-year-old Matt Ryan as the Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Monday night.
INDIANAPOLIS — Nick Foles waited all season to start taking snaps with the Indianapolis Colts starters.On Wednesday, interim coach Jeff Saturday announced Foles will replace Matt Ryan as Indy's starter against the Los Angeles Chargers, giving Foles his first start since Dec. 26, 2021, and his second since October 2020.
He's also seen Indy switch play-callers, fire the offensive coordinator and even got bypassed when Reich initially benched Ryan in October. “This is never an easy decision and I love Matt, he's a pro's pro and I love the way he's handled it,” Saturday said. “I feel bad for Matt but ultimately, Nick gives us the best chance of winning and that's the direction we're headed.”
But after last week's historic collapse, a four-turnover fourth quarter that led to 33 points in Indy's previous game at Dallas and four consecutive losses, Saturday pulled the plug on Ryan's starting role and is giving Foles a crash course to show what he can do with a lineup he knows little about.
