Nearly every Colts player expressed surprise at the team's decision, support for Ryan and a desire to rally around Ehlinger. Colts NFL
INDIANAPOLIS — The news that the Colts had benched starting quarterback Matt Ryan in favor of Sam Ehlinger first hit the team’s leadership council in a meeting with Indianapolis head coach Frank Reich, then the rest of the roster.
Ryan’s steely demeanor and calm in the fourth quarter had served as the catalyst for four comebacks already this season, and even though Indianapolis was struggling at 3-3-1, the team never faltered in its belief in the 37-year-old quarterback, the fifth starter in Frank Reich’s four-plus seasons as head coach.
But the Colts have stopped short of explicitly questioning the organizational decision made by owner Jim Irsay, general manager Chris Ballard and Reich. Buckner, the former 49er who is in his third season in Indianapolis, has seen similar situations. When San Francisco drafted Buckner, the quarterback was Colin Kaepernick, and although the 49ers traded for Jimmy Garoppolo the next season, injuries to Garoppolo kept the quarterback door revolving the entire time he was there.
