Interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed Monday that Matt Ryan will remain the Colts’ starting quarterback for Saturday’s game against the Vikings, JJ Stankevitz of the team’s official site reports. In the Colts’ 54-19 loss to the Cowboys in Week 13, Ryan completed 21 of his 37 pass attempts for 223 yards and two touchdowns while throwing a trio of picks and losing a fumble in the contest. Though the veteran quarterback has had his share of turnovers this season, Saturday suggested that the positioning of the signal-caller’s receivers and breakdowns in pass protection have been contributing factors to Ryan’s ball-security issues. In any case, Ryan will look to rebound following a bye week, while going up against a Minnesota defense that is allowing a league-high average of 287.2 passing yards per game to date.

Dalvin Cook rushed 15 times for 23 yards and a touchdown and secured one of two targets for 13 yards in the Vikings’ 34-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. Cook appeared to be on his way to a productive day when he capped off a 10-play, 75-yard march late in the first quarter with a one-yard touchdown rush, but the rest of his afternoon, which included a lost fumble deep in Lions territory near the end of the first half, was a study in frustration. He found running room at a premium against a quietly improving Detroit rush defense, leaving him with his second-lowest yardage tally of the season. The talented back will aim to make up for the lackluster day and get into the end zone for a third straight game in a Saturday afternoon home matchup versus the Colts in Week 15.
