The Indianapolis Colts are facing a quarterback controversy as Anthony Richardson has been benched following a disappointing performance against the Houston Texans. Richardson completed just 10 passes out of 32 attempts, raising concerns about his development as a quarterback.

However, what really sparked controversy was Richardson’s decision to leave the game late in the third quarter due to feeling tired. Backup quarterback Joe Flacco briefly replaced him on the field, causing criticism from his teammates and former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Center Ryan Kelly and head coach Shane Steichen were vocal about their disapproval of Richardson’s move, questioning his commitment to the team.

In response to the backlash, Coach Steichen announced that Richardson would be benched for Week 9, with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco taking over. Flacco has already led the team to victory in two games this season, showcasing a more consistent performance with seven touchdowns and one interception.

Richardson’s lackluster stats this season, with only four touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing just 44.4% of his passes, played a significant role in his benching. Despite the Colts emphasizing patience in his development, the team’s 4-4 record prompted the decision to make a change at quarterback.

While Coach Steichen initially claimed Richardson’s departure from the game wouldn’t impact the starting lineup for Week 9, it certainly didn’t help his case. The team is in need of a more reliable quarterback to lead them to success, and Flacco’s experience and consistency may provide the stability the Colts are looking for.

The decision to bench Richardson reflects the team’s commitment to fielding the best lineup possible to secure wins. As the Colts continue their season, all eyes will be on Flacco to see if he can lead the team to victory and solidify his role as the starting quarterback.
