For the Indianapolis Colts, Anthony Richardson is back in command of the offense. Coach Shane Steichen said Richardson will start at Quarterback at the Jets in Week 11 on Sunday and remain the starting quarterback going forward. Joe Flacco made the last two starts for Indianapolis. The Colts lost both games, and the Week 9 loss marked Indy’s worst offensive output of the season. Flacco had four turnovers in the Colts’ Week 10 loss to Buffalo. The Colts were 1-3 in games in which Flacco started. They’re 3-3 with Richardson under center.
Steichen said the attention to detail needed to be at a “higher standard” for Richardson, whether it meant the weight room, classroom, walkthroughs, or practice. Steichen said neither he nor the staff lost faith in Richardson or his abilities. The coach informed Flacco of his decision Tuesday; the veteran took it in stride because he’s the “ultimate pro” and understood the reason behind the change, Steichen said. The team learned about the decision on Wednesday morning.
