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.

Until now, no player has lost to 31 or 32 teams. 7 players have lost to 30 teams – Drew Bledsoe, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Matt Hasselbeck, Jon Kitna, Carson Palmer, and Alex Smith. But, all those players have retired, and only two active player remains. Matt Ryan and Derek Carr are the only two active players who have lost to 29 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.

Making this unusual record is not easy. In fact, it is more difficult than recording a win from all the 32 teams. Quarterbacks who don’t win games are most of the time benched, and they don’t last long in the game. But Matt Ryan has been playing for a long time now. Will he cross that humiliating professional milestone?
