I didn't make that answer up.

There was reporting around both of those Matt Ryan decisions although there was a lot more reporting on Irsay's role in the benching.

On bringing him in:

On a late night call with Irsay 24 hours after the meeting with Ryan, Ballard bristled over Atlanta's trade terms.

His boss pushed him over the line.

“Get it done, Chris,” Irsay instructed.
On the benching:

Colts owner Jim Irsay said early this morning that he empowered HC Frank Reich to make the change at QB from veteran Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger, a 6th rd pick in 2021, and was "excited" and that he, Reich and GM Chris Ballard were in "lockstep" on the move.

There were also comments from Reich that indicated Irsay was a "one man crew" about the decision to bench Ryan.
