Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Matt Ryan, is set to make a record that he might not want. Matt has spent 14 years playing in the NFL and is about to make the most uncommon record in NFL history. There are 32 teams in the NFL, out of which Matt Ryan has lost to 29 teams.

Out of the 32 teams, Ryan hasn’t lost to 3 teams – The Falcons, The Raiders, and The Jaguars. This season, Colts will play two games with the Jaguars and face the Raiders once. If by any chance, the Colts lose the two matches with the Raiders and the Jaguars, then Ryan will become the first player to lose from 31 NFL teams.

Matt has played his 14 seasons with the Falcons, so he goes undefeated here. The falcons traded Ryan this season to the Colts, and he will be making his 15th appearance in the NFL. Colts won’t be facing the Falcons, so the record of losing to 32 teams is impossible for Ryan this season. Additionally, the names of the four quarterbacks who have made the record in the NFL history to win against all the 32 teams are- Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.
