The Indianapolis Colts will start Nick Foles at quarterback against the New York Giants on Sunday even though he's coming off a three-interception outing in a 20-3 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Interim head coach Jeff Saturday told the news to reporters Tuesday.
The 4-10-1 Colts benched starter Matt Ryan in favor of Foles for the Chargers game. However, Foles finished 17-of-29 for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three picks. A struggling offensive line also helped lead to seven sacks of Foles, an 11-year NFL veteran who joined the Colts this offseason.
Ryan was inactive for this game, so the Colts' backup option was second-year signal-caller Sam Ehlinger, who has completed 32 of 52 passes for 304 yards and one interception in two games this year.
