Indianapolis Colts Owner Mourns Matt Ulrich’s Passing

Colts owner Jim Irsay shared his heartfelt sentiments on X (formerly Twitter):

“I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Matt Ulrich. Matt was with us only two seasons but left his mark on many. Great guy, I hear he was a great dad—and he was a Super Bowl champ. My prayers to his family. 🙏”

Ulrich once expressed that being a part of the Colts’ journey to Super Bowl victory was his proudest achievement beyond his family commitments.
