After spending the first 14 seasons of his career in Atlanta, veteran quarterback Matt Ryan was traded to the Indianapolis Colts this off season seeking a fresh start. He made his debut for his new team in week one, completing 32 of 50 passes for 352 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Texans in a game which ended in a 20-20 tie.
