WATCH: Former Wisconsin QB Jack Coan throws TD in preseason
On Saturday, down seven with just 44 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Jack Coan connected with Samson Nacua on a 27-yard touchdown strike, getting the Colts within striking distance of the Detroit Lions.
Indianapolis would go for the two-point conversion in an attempt to win the game in regulation but ultimately failed to convert.
Coan, who played with the Badgers from 2017-20, finished the game 7-11, passing for 83 yards and a touchdown.
As it stands, Coan is behind veteran QBs Matt Ryan, Nick Foles, and 2021 sixth-round draft pick Sam Ehlinger, making a bid for a spot on the 53-man roster an uphill battle.
The hope for the undrafted free agent pickup is to play well enough to land on a practice squad where he can continue developing his game.
