Anthony Richardson makes a big splash in his return to the Colts lineup

The 4th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Anthony Richardson made a serious comeback for the Colts this last weekend after previously being benched just three weeks ago. Richardson made a great first step in ensuring he remains the starter for the rest of the season with a big-time signature win over the New York Jets.

 

It goes without saying that Richardson looked much improved for the entirety of the contest against the New York Jets. With 20 completions on 30 attempts, netting 272 passing yards and a touchdown, Richardson was as efficient as he has been to this point in his career. Richardson, of course, also added to his stat line with his elite rushing abilities, posting 2 more touchdowns, including the game-winner in the 4th quarter.

This was a much-needed rebound for the young signal caller, who was the second first-round quarterback from his class, to experience a benching and then a swift resurgence. It’s likely Richardson will be the starter moving forward, and if he keeps his level of play equal to what he showed today, the Colts can be confident in their quarterback moving into the future.
