Seven weeks ahead of their road game against the Denver Broncos in Week 15, the Indianapolis Colts are making a change at quarterback.
The Colts have benched struggling quarterback Anthony Richardson in favor of a veteran who is familiar to Broncos fans. Indianapolis is turning the offense over to Joe Flacco, who started two games earlier this year when Richardson was injured.
Up next for the Colts (4-4) is a road game against the Minnesota Vikings (5-2) on Sunday Night Football in Week 9. Six weeks after that game, Denver will host Indy at Empower Field at Mile High on Dec. 15.
Richardson, 22, completed 44.4% of his passes for 958 yards this season with four touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has also rushed for 242 yards and a touchdown and fumbled six times. Flacco, 39, has completed 65.7% of his passes for 716 yards with seven touchdowns against one interception.
After 11 years with the Baltimore Ravens, Flacco spent one season with the Broncos in 2019. He went 2-6 as a starter in Denver. Flacco has spent time with four other teams since his stint with the Broncos. His career win-loss record is 104-83.
