The former Falcons report returns, and this week brings us quality games for a pair of ex-Atlanta legends, a rough moment for a 2021 defender, and unfortunately some injury news. Here’s the weekly report.
QB Matt Ryan
Jim Irsay basically melted down the Colts. After they stood 3-3-1 but had played a lot of lousy football, Irsay was reportedly behind the decision to bench Matt Ryan in favor of Sam Ehlinger, which was followed by the canning of offensive coordinator Marcus Brady and ultimately head coach Frank Reich. There were a lot of unhappy people when he installed Jeff Saturday, a former Colts great and until recently an NFL analyst with very limited high school coaching experience, as the new head coach.
