Indianapolis Colts Pregame - Can Matt Ryan hold...
<p>Matt Ryan will try to hold onto the football AND his job tonight! &nbsp;Jonathan Taylor is out, but Phillip Lindsay is up! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Ryan's fumble frequency has fans furious, and rightly so. &nbsp;Through four games, Ryan has fumbled more often than Carson Wentz did in 17 games! &nbsp;</p> <p>Broncos and Colts have many eerily common traits! &nbsp;Which will break tendency to actually score a few points? &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis is the Big 10 Preseason Player of the Year, and he needs to back that up with a season of excellence, but he is not the key to success for the Hoosiers!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Matt Ryan has fumbled nine times in four games, and that needs to stop for the Colts to fly home from Denver happy - and for Ryan to keep his job. &nbsp;</p> <p>Four other keys for the Colts to win tonight include keeping Russell Wilson from dropping dimes deep against the Colts secondary! &nbsp;Look for Stephon Gilmore to play winning football. &nbsp;</p> <p>Dezmon Patmon signs to practice squad after the NFL passed. No one claimed him off waivers. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pacers destroyed the Hornets in Charlotte with Aaron Nesmith leading the scoring with 16. &nbsp;</p> <p>Cubs wrap up a horrific 2022 with a 15-2 win in Cincinnati!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
