The Indianapolis Colts crossed off the “Nick Foles starts a game” space on their 2022 bingo board.
, who had no prior coaching experience at all. Ryan was later re-instated, then benched again for Foles.
The Colts, now 4-10-1, and are headed into the offseason with no stability – and no clue at quarterback or head coach. The quotes coming out of the locker room after Indianapolis’ “Monday Night Football” loss reflected a confused group. “It’s tough. What is it, Week 16?” wide receiver Parris Campbell told The Athletic. “[Foles] never expected to play. You gotta tip your cap to him. Yeah, it wasn’t the outcome everyone wanted today, but being able to get ready to go play a game and mentally prepare this late in the season, where our season is, you gotta tip your hat to him because that’s what professionals do.”When Foles himself was asked if he was eager to be starting a game for Indianapolis this season, his answer was blunt.
“When I came here, this was Matt Ryan’s team, and I still think Matt’s a tremendous player. I think the world of Matt,” Foles said. “So, the answer is no. … I was never champing at the bit because I was there to support Matt, and I wanted Matt to succeed.”No one expects to be 4-10-1 at the end of the season, and that reaction was surely more geared toward the team’s lack of success throughout the year than who is starting at quarterback.
