Frank Reich fired as coach of stumbling Colts

One day after one of the Indianapolis Colts' worst offensive performances in recent memory, the team fired fifth-year head coach Frank Reich.

The Colts' 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was their third straight defeat. It was the latest example of their deepening offensive challenges that are beginning to appear insurmountable despite a recent quarterback change from Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger and last week's firing of offensive coordinator Marcus Brady.

Reich, 60, was 40-33-1 (.547) in the regular season and had a 1-2 record in two playoff appearances.
