Colts bench ‘tired’ Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco in QB shocker
NY Post
The Colts are tired of Anthony Richardson.
Indianapolis is benching the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for veteran Joe Flacco following a much-scrutinized performance in Week 8 against the Texans, according to ESPN.
The Colts (4-4) are in the playoff race and clearly believe Flacco, 39, gives them the better chance to compete this year, starting with Sunday’s prime-time road game against the Vikings.
Richardson, 22, is coming off a dreadful 10-for-32 performance in a 23-20 loss to the Texans in Week 8 that included him asking out for one play because he felt “tired.”
The second-year quarterback told reporters he removed himself from the game in the third quarter while facing a third-and-goal at the Texans’ 23-yard line since he felt “tired, ain’t gonna lie.”
Richardson had run a decent amount of the previous play while being sacked.
