AFC Notes: Nick Foles, Colts, Jaguars, Texans

• Saturday added they will continue to re-evaluate the quarterback position on a week-to-week basis and hopes Foles “leaves no doubt” in Monday’s game: “Hopefully (Foles) plays well enough it leaves no doubt.” (Bremer)
• Saturday thinks that Foles running the offense will challenge teams downfield: “We have to get teams out of playing their safeties at 7 yards.” (Kevin Bowen)
• Colts ST coordinator Bubba Ventrone said that he aspires to become a head coach in the NFL: “I do aspire to be a head coach at some point.” (Nate Atkins)
