Anthony Richardson Named Colts Starting Quarterback

The Indianapolis Colts have announced a return to Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback for the remainder of the 2024 NFL season, reversing a recent decision to start veteran Joe Flacco. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the switch after Flacco's disappointing performance, which included three interceptions in his last start. Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, had previously been benched after a controversial exit from a game, but his earlier stats included four touchdowns and seven interceptions over six games. Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the coaching decisions, with some criticizing the Colts' staff for their inconsistency. This change comes as the Colts, currently at 4-6, aim to stay competitive in the playoff race against the Denver Broncos. The Colts' struggles have drawn attention from analysts and former players, questioning the team's direction and Richardson's development.
