Anthony Richardson Reinstated as Colts' Starting Quarterback

The Indianapolis Colts have reinstated Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback after a two-game benching, following struggles from Joe Flacco. Richardson's performance against the New York Jets, which included completing 20-of-30 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns, showcased his physicality and potential. Colts head coach Shane Steichen indicated that Richardson's growth and improved preparation during his benching were key factors in the decision. Despite originally wanting Flacco to lead the team for the remainder of the season, Flacco's poor performance prompted the Colts to return to Richardson. The Colts, now 5-6, are hopeful Richardson can maintain this momentum, especially with an upcoming tough schedule that includes games against formidable opponents. Team sources affirm that Richardson's hard work has garnered the locker room's support, emphasizing his importance to the team's future.
