Colts HC Frank Reich's 'comfort with' Matt Ryan as QB is 'very high'
Despite being right in the thick of the AFC South chase with a 2-2-1 record , the Indianapolis Colts' offense has, by most accounts, been abysmal this season. They enter play this week last in the NFL with 69 total points scored.
Head coach Frank Reich spoke on the state of the team's offense on Monday, saying that he still has confidence in struggling starting quarterback Matt Ryan.
Ryan's 79.8 passer rating through five weeks of action puts him only ahead of Jameis Winston (79.6), Marcus Mariota (78.8), Joe Flacco (77.9), Mac Jones (76.2), Mitchell Trubisky (73.7), Justin Fields (73.1) and Baker Mayfield (71.8) among quarterbacks who've started the majority of their team's games this season.
"Matty Ice" has posted a 65.6% completion percentage with 1,376 passing yards and just five touchdowns against his league-leading seven picks while pacing the NFL in times sacked (21) and yards lost on sacks (168) as well.
