Following three straight losses, Reich’s exit follows the Colts’ 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, dropping them to 3-5-1 on the season.

Following the Carolina Panthers’ termination of Matt Rhule, Reich became the second head coach to be fired during the season after team owner Jim Irsay verified the original reports of his dismissal via NFL Network on Twitter.

The outcome might have been the last straw for Reich’s career, but given the team’s difficulties in acquiring a quarterback capable of winning a Super Bowl to guide a quality group of players under the 60-year-old’s leadership, it’s possible that the writing had already been done.

Ehlinger, a 2021 sixth-round pick out of Texas, replaced Matt Ryan, who had trouble making an impression in the first half of the season after joining the team in the summer by trade from the Atlanta Falcons. Ehlinger took over under center near the end of October.

The offensive production of the Colts is among the lowest in the league, with Indianapolis’s once-dominant offensive line seeing a sharp downturn and 2021 rushing leader Jonathan Taylor finding it difficult to duplicate last season’s dominance. Reich’s departure occurs just one week after Marcus Brady, the offensive coordinator, was fired.

Since Andrew Luck abruptly retired before the 2019 season, the team has searched and failed to find a long-term replacement. Although Carson Wentz and Philip Rivers both played a season for the team in 2020 and 2021, respectively, they were unable to provide the missing piece to the puzzle.
