About-face: Colts turn back to Richardson at QB

NFL

The Indianapolis Colts are going back to Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback, starting with the game Sunday against the New York Jets, coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday.

Steichen said Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft, would remain the starter for the rest of the season.

The switch comes two days after Steichen had said veteran Joe Flacco would start the game at MetLife Stadium.

Flacco has started the Colts’ past two games in place of Richardson, and Indianapolis has lost both.

The Colts benched Richardson in late October following a game against the Houston Texans where he asked to come out of the game for one play because, as he later told reporters, he “was tired.”
