Colts | Trouble brewing in Indy? Thu Oct 31, 10:48 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson said head coach Shane Steichen didn't explain why he was benched.
Footballguys view: Richardson shouldn't be surprised by his benching. He wasn't playing great football and tapped out last week for a play because he was tired. Richardson is more of a developmental project than originally thought. Let's see how much developing can happen as he sits behind Joe Flacco. |

Colts | IND not giving up on Anthony Richardson Wed Oct 30, 11:42 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson isn't done with the team as head coach Shane Steichen said he hasn't given up on him. However, QB Joe Flacco will be the starter going forward.
Footballguys view: Flacco gives them the best chance to win. They can make a push for the playoffs with Flacco, and that might not have been the case with Richardson. The young quarterback has all the physical skill in the world, but he needs to further develop his skill as a passer. |

Colts | Joe Flacco entrenched as starter Wed Oct 30, 11:37 AM
Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts QB Joe Flacco is the starting quarterback, and it's not a temporary move, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
Footballguys view: Flacco gives a boost to the Colts passing game, and his receivers should be ready for more passes - and better passes - going forward. With Flacco under center, the Colts can make a run at the playoffs and the AFCS title. Anthony Richardson needs more time to develop. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson benched Tue Oct 29, 01:45 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been benched in favor of QB Joe Flacco Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Footballguys view: Colts coaches met Tuesday morning and ultimately decided to change quarterbacks, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Adam Schefter. The benching came two days after Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans for one play because, as he told reporters, he "was tired." Colts coach Shane Steichen said Monday that he was evaluating the quarterback situation, adding that Richardson's request to come out of the game would not be a factor in his decision. Richardson was 10-of-32 for 175 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss at Houston. Flacco has a 65.7 percent passing completion percentage and has thrown seven touchdowns and only one interception, averaging 179 passing yards a game. |

Link to storyColts | Steichen Not Confirming Anthony Richardson Will Start Week 9 Mon Oct 28, 02:16 PM
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's loss to the Texans for a play because he "needed a break" after doing a lot of running on the two previous plays. On Monday, head coach Shane Steichen said it's possible the team will be asking Richardson to spend a longer period of time on the bench in Week 9 and beyond. Steichen was asked at his press conference if Richardson will be the starting quarterback against the Vikings this week. "We're evaluating everything," Steichen said via multiple reporters.
Footballguys view: Richardson missed two games with an oblique injury earlier this year and has completed 44.4 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and seven interceptions in his six starts. As PFT notes, Joe Flacco started the two games that Richardson did not play and would presumably return to the starting lineup if the Colts decide it is time to make a change. Stay tuned. |

Colts | Four targets for Adonai Mitchell Mon Oct 28, 03:15 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Adonai Mitchell had one reception (on four targets) for nine yards against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Oct. 27.
Link to storyColts | Anthony Richardson Tapping Out To Take A Breather Raises Questions Sun Oct 27, 09:57 PM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson wasn't on the field for a late-third-quarter play in a game in which his team trailed by two scores and later lost. Curiously, Richardson was on the sideline not because he was hurt but, rather, because he was exhausted. "I was tired," he said. "I ain't gonna lie."
Footballguys view: The second-year quarterback exited the game after scrambling around furiously on the previous two plays against the Texans' defense. Richardson got up slowly after the second run and headed to the nearby Colts sideline, tapping his helmet en route. On the sideline, he immediately took a knee. "That was a lot of running right there," Richardson said. " I didn't think I was going to be able to go that next play, so I just told [Colts coach] Shane [Steichen] I just needed a break right there." Richardson's departure from the game initially raised questions about whether he had sustained an injury. However, athletic trainers who checked on him did not appear to be treating an injury and seemed satisfied that he was fine. "He needed a breather," Steichen later confirmed. As ESPN.com's Stephen Holder suggests, the strange string of events will only intensify the discourse around Richardson, whose season-long struggles have been a weekly challenge for the Colts to navigate. After showing flashes of his significant talent in the four games he played in 2023 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, Richardson has arguably experienced regression in 2024. So, what's next for Richardson? "We keep working through the process," Steichen said. "It's a process. We keep grinding through it." The Colts play the Vikings on Sunday Night Football in Week 9. |

Footballguys view: Downs got free for a 69-yard score and had a spectacular catch at the one to set up the Colts other touchdown. He had his first good game with Anthony Richardson to at least give you a reason to consider playing him against the Vikings next week. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Houston Texans, while adding a 12-yard reception on his only target.
Footballguys view: Taylor was the only part of the Colts offense that worked consistently as he scored yet again vs. the Texans, one of his favorite opponents. Taylor looked as healthy as he did before he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 4. He should be the point of the spear for this offense going forward. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson inaccurate in Week 8 Sun Oct 27, 06:56 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson completed just 10-of-32 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 8 against the Houston Texans, while running six times for 45 yards. He exited the game briefly in the red zone in the third quarter for one play, admitting to head coach Shane Steichen that he simply got tired.
Footballguys view: Richardson had a long day as a passer that will only raise more questions about his viability as a passer in the NFL and fantasy quarterback. The Colts are likely to stick with him during these rough stretches, but it's fair to wonder if things will improve as his accuracy has plateaued at a league-worst level. We'll be listening close to just see if the Colts are considering Joe Flacco against the Vikings next week. |
