Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich became the second NFL head coach fired this season, following Matt Rhule of the Carolina Panthers earlier this season. The Colts made the decision with Reich on Monday morning, per multiple reports. Reich was in his fifth season as the Colts’ head coach, compiling a 40-33-1 regular-season record, and 1-2 in the postseason.
On Sunday, the Colts lost 26-3 to the New England Patriots. New England’s defense demolished Indy’s sub-par offensive line for nine sacks, quarterback Sam Ehlinger completed 15 of 29 passes for 103 yards and an interception, and the Colts amassed just 78 rushing yards on 22 carries. That put the Colts’ record at 3-5-1 on the season.
