The Colt’s season continues to deliver surprises. Indy has benched Matt Ryan and backup quarterback Nick Foles will make his 2022 debut against the Los Angeles Chargers. Indianapolis plays the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night football. Nick Foles is the third quarterback to start for Indy this season. Matt Ryan was benched earlier in the season and Sam Ehlinger started a couple of games. The move to start Foles comes after Indianapolis’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Indy gave up a 33-point lead and lost 39-36.
Starting a new quarterback isn’t foreign to Colts fans. Indianapolis has made a name for itself by starting different quarterbacks. Unfortunately, Indy hasn’t found its franchise quarterback. Maybe Nick Foles can provide a spark to a disappointing season in Indianapolis. Foles is expected to play the rest of the season according to ESPN Reporter Dan Graziano.
