A general manager and head coach have multiple jobs to do with any team, of course, but there should be little doubt that they have the final word on any decisions made. For the Indianapolis Colts, Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen should be firm in their thinking and how to move forward.
That means, according to ESPN, that Riley Leonard will start at quarterback in Week 18, while Philip Rivers will be his backup. The question is, why was the decision seemingly so difficult to make before Tuesday?
Rivers and Steichen appear to be good friends.
