The bizarre Anthony Richardson saga in Indianapolis took another unexpected turn on Wednesday as coach Shane Steichen announced his intention to bench Joe Flacco and give Richardson the starting quarterback job again. All told the former Florida QB rode the bench for two weeks, watched Flacco throw four interceptions in two losses, and will now attempt to keep the Colts in striking distance of the Houston Texans for the AFC South title.
The decision from Steichen felt especially shocking given he said on Monday that Flacco was still going to start moving forward. In announcing the switch back to Richardson, the coach gave some insight into how the young signal-caller got his job back.
