Of course, now heading into his age-38 campaign, Ryan likely isn't a candidate for anything more than a backup gig. Through 12 appearances with the Colts last year, he averaged 255 passing yards per game and logged a 14:13 TD:INT.

Colts' Matt Ryan: Another historic blown lead
Matt Ryan completed 19 of 33 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.With Minnesota's offense and special teams imploding in the first half, Ryan didn't have to do much en route to a 33-0 halftime lead, though he chipped in with a one-yard passing touchdown to Deon Jackson in the first quarter. After halftime, a script Ryan has come to know all too well unfolded, as the Vikings tied the game at 36-36 with 2:15 left in regulation. Minnesota completed the largest comeback in NFL history with a field goal in the final minute of overtime after one last failed drive from Ryan and the Indianapolis Colts. The aging quarterback hasn't thrown for 250 yards in a game since Week 6 as he prepares to face the Chargers on MNF in Week 16.

Colts' Matt Ryan: Still the starter
Coach Jeff Saturday confirmed Monday that Matt Ryan will remain the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback ahead of Saturday's game against the Vikings, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.In the Colts' 54-19 loss to the Cowboys in Week 13, Ryan completed 21 of his 37 pass attempts for 223 yards and two TDs, while throwing a trio of picks and losing a fumble in the contest. While the veteran QB no doubt has had his share of turnovers this season, Saturday suggested that the positioning of the signal-caller's receivers and breakdowns in pass protection have been contributing factors to Ryan's ball-security issues. In any case, Ryan will look to rebound this weekend following a bye week, while going up against a Minnesota defense that is allowing a league-high average of 287.2 passing yards per game to date.

Colts' Matt Ryan: Commits four turnovers on SNF
Matt Ryan completed 21 of 37 pass attempts for 223 yards and two touchdowns while throwing three interceptions and losing one fumble in Sunday's 54-19 loss to the Cowboys.This game was actually much closer than the final score suggests, but Ryan committed untimely turnovers that ultimately cost his team a chance at victory. The aging signal-caller threw an ugly interception on the Indianapolis Colts' final drive of the first half, then he had three consecutive drives with turnovers in the second half that all resulted in touchdowns for Dallas. Ryan has not performed well since being reinstated as the starter by head coach Jeff Saturday, throwing four TDs but committing six total turnovers while failing to top 225 passing yards in any of the four games. The sliding Colts are entering a bye week, so it will be interesting to see if Saturday sticks with his struggling starter when the team resumes play against the Vikings on Dec. 18.
