Matt Ryan's Troubled 2022 Season with the Indianapolis Colts
Career NFL Statistics for Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Matt Ryan
The 2022 season for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan was a tumultuous one, marked by inconsistencies, struggles, and ultimately a benching. Ryan, who had previously enjoyed a successful career with the Atlanta Falcons, found himself in a new environment with the Colts and it proved to be a challenging adjustment.
Regular Season Stats
In 12 games as the Colts' starting quarterback in 2022, Ryan completed 263 of 440 passes (59.8%) for 2,976 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He also rushed for 41 yards and one touchdown. These numbers were a far cry from his career averages and reflected the Colts' struggles on the offensive side of the ball.
Benching and Aftermath
After a particularly poor performance in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans, Ryan was benched in favor of backup quarterback Nick Foles. He made two more starts later in the season before being benched again in favor of rookie quarterback Sam Ehlinger. The Colts finished the season with a disappointing 4-12-1 record.
Future Outlook
Ryan's future with the Colts is uncertain following his disappointing 2022 season. He is entering the final year of his contract and could be released or traded by Indianapolis. Whether he will return to form or find success with another team remains to be seen.
