We just shot ourselves in the foot,” Ehlinger said. “Two turnovers, got down to the inch-yard line and came away with three points and that’s not good enough in this league. It’s frustrating, but we showed we could be an explosive offense, we had explosive plays and we’ve got to keep building from here.”</p><p>Sam Ehlinger passed for only 201 yards on 17-of-23 completions against Washington.

This time, Frank Reich is making an in-season change and will bench Matt Ryan in favor of second-year QB Sam Ehlinger.</p><p>After several seasons with no progress made in that position, Reich is under plenty of pressure to figure something out and help the team emerge as a true playoff team. Indianapolis is ready to give him that time, though. According to <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/colts-head-coach-frank-reich-s-job-status-considered-to-be-safe">NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport</a>, the Colts aren’t planning to fire Reich, who has been their head coach since 2018 and has led the team to winning records three times in four full seasons.</p><p>“Multiple sources say Reich is in no trouble at all. His job status is best described as ‘safe,’ sources say, and in good shape,” writes Rapoport. The Colts coach has a 40-31-1 record in his tenure with two playoff appearances.</p><p>Colts owner Jim Irsay has both Reich and general manager Chris Ballard’s back, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/1586730629240164352?s=20&amp;t=VapF-oH8y0BbwvGQDnw-qQ">Chris Mortensen of ESPN</a>. “I’m in a great spot with Chris and Frank. We’re all re-energized with the move to Sam Ehlinger. Nothing is easy but feel really good,” he said.</p><p>Reich’s decision to start Ehlinger is much more telling of the Colts’ front office, which has <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLFantasyEsp/status/1584696601615876096?s=20&amp;t=PNrHJMv9WtijOFhvwYFDAA">failed to find a quarterback to build around</a> since Andrew Luck’s retirement. Despite plenty of talent in other parts of the roster, the brutal inconsistency under center has squandered what could have been a window of consistent playoff contention.</p><p>With Ehlinger, Reich is hoping that his scrambling ability can add a new dynamic to the offense. With a home matchup against the Washington Commanders coming up, he has the chance to make his mark. His performance also means a lot for Reich, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-news-players-completely-baffled-by-matt-ryan-sam-ehlingler-decision/">shocked several players</a> with the decision to bench Ryan.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ryan even sounds fully committed to becoming a part-time quarterbacks coach with the Colts in order to give Ehlinger everything he can to help the second-year gunslinger perform well on the field.</p><p><b><i>For our Commanders-Colts preview and full Week 8 predictions, listen below:</i></b></p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>“I love Sam. He’s been awesome since the day I got here,” Matt Ryan said, about the seemingly changing of the guards in Indianapolis, per <a href="https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1585309375463555072" rel="noopener">Zak Keefer of The Athletic</a>. “My job shifts now — now I gotta do everything I can to help him. He’s gonna do great for us.”</p><p>The Colts have made the decision to switch from Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger after a 3-3-1 start to the 2022 NFL season. Indianapolis’ offense has been ineffective and wildly inconsistent for the most part during Ryan’s term as the team’s starting quarterback. Through seven weeks, the Colts are just 30th in the NFL with 16.1 points per game. Errors have also piled up on the part of Ryan, who is top 10 in the league with 2,008 passing yards to go with nine touchdown tosses but also has been picked nine times already this season.</p><p>The Colts believe that Sam Ehlinger can give them a spark offensively. Ehlinger is in the second year of his NFL career though he has yet to make a start at the pro level and has not seen any action in 2022.</p><p>That will all <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-news-sam-ehlinger-opens-up-on-usurping-matt-ryan-as-indys-starting-qb/" rel="noopener">change</a> in Week 8 at home against the Washington Commanders.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, in speaking with the media on Wednesday, the second-year player from the University of Texas says he is prepared for the new challenge.</p><p>Per <a href="https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1585330224266620928?s=20&amp;t=BTbh2b9A3gJBQJJXALKe3w" rel="noopener">Zak Keefer</a> of The Atheltic, Ehlinger had spent his time “always preparing to be the starter. Regardless of when the opportunity was gonna come,” adding that this mindset has “alleviated a lot of the stress.”</p><p>Ehlinger also credits Matt Ryan and backup Nick Foles with aiding in his development, sharing that the experience of working with the veteran signal-callers is akin to “an education I can’t pay for.”</p><p>While there <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-news-the-real-reason-matt-ryan-wont-be-colts-qb1-again-this-year-in-indianapolis/" rel="noopener">may be ulterior financial motives</a> behind the team making the QB switch, Ryan is incredibly supportive of Ehlinger as the Colts starter preparing to take over. “I love Sam. He’s been awesome since the day I got here,” said Ryan. “My job shifts now — now I gotta do everything I can to help him. He’s gonna do great for us.”</p><p>In his rookie season last year, Ehlinger only appeared in portions of three games, logging zero pass attempts, and did not start a single game. Week 8’s matchup against the Washington Commanders will be Sam Ehlinger’s first career NFL start. The Colts are still in the conversation for the division crown in the AFC South; however, sitting in second place with a record of 3-3-1 does not leave a ton of margin for error. Time will tell how the newly-minted starter will handle the pressure.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
