Colts Make a Quarterback Switch: Joe Flacco to Start Over Anthony Richardson

NFLFootballColtsAnthony RichardsonJoe Flacco

The Indianapolis Colts are shaking up their quarterback position.** After a series of poor performances from Anthony Richardson, the team has decided to bench him in favor of veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. This change comes after Richardson took himself out of a game due to fatigue, a move that didn't sit well with head coach Shane Steichen. Richardson has completed just 44.4% of his passes this season, and his accuracy and decision-making have been subpar. The Colts hope that Flacco, who has started twice for the team this season with a 1-1 record, can turn things around for the team. The Colts will face the Minnesota Vikings in their next game, and it remains to be seen how this quarterback switch will play out.
