Anthony Richardson Named Colts Starting Quarterback

Anthony Richardson has been reinstated as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts as they prepare to face the New York Jets this Sunday, following a two-game benching in favor of Joe Flacco. Head coach Shane Steichen praised Richardson's progress in practice and his maturity during the time off, asserting that he has shown significant improvement and remains a key part of the team's future. Despite Richardson's earlier struggles, including a low completion rate and more interceptions than touchdowns, the Colts believe he has the potential to become a franchise quarterback. Richardson expressed gratitude for the chance to return, emphasizing his commitment to the team's success. Flacco's performance during his stint, which included six turnovers in two games, contributed to the decision to revert to Richardson. The Colts, now 4-6 after a loss to the Bills, view this game as crucial for their playoff aspirations.
