Colts seem unsure of which quarterback will face the Vikings in Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings have gone from 5-0 to 5-2 and are now heading toward the bottom of the highly competitive NFC North. They are set to face the Indianapolis Colts, who are having struggles of their own, which makes their matchup in Week 9 much more interesting.

While the Vikings seem set with their roster and lineup, the Colts have questions at quarterback that need to be answered.

When speaking to the media, Colts coach Shane Steichen was asked if Anthony Richardson would start for the team on Sunday night. His response was “We’re evaluating everything.”

The Colts have had mild success with the second-year quarterback out of Florida, but at times, he has looked lost. His poor performance is that of a quarterback with less than 20 college football games to his credit, whereas his backup, Joe Flacco, has enough experience for three quarterback careers.

Either way, the Colts are looking at an interesting matchup, but for the Vikings, they have to favor playing Richardson rather than Flacco.
