Indianapolis Colts suffered the most brutal defeat on Sunday via the hands of New England Patriots 26-3, wherein Frank Reich’s team was 0-for-14 on third-down conversion attempts. After the game he seemed dejected as he knew what was in store for him.
It didn’t take the Colts’ management long enough to fire Frank Reich on Monday after he had 40-33-1 record tally in more than four seasons in Indianapolis and just a 1-2 mark in two postseason appearances. Result of this, former offensive lineman Jeff Saturday will have a major transition to pull off – from analyst to interim head coach.
“The offensive performance, that’s why I was brought here,” Reich said after the Colts lost to Bill Belichick’s side on Sunday, as per ESPN. “That’s my responsibility…it starts with me. I have to do a better job getting the guys ready to play and putting guys in position to win and having answers when we face problems.”
