Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had some interesting answers when discussing his performance against the Houston Texans.
Taylor was his normal electric self, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown. Buckner and the defense did their job, limiting the Texans' run game for most of the day and pressuring C.J. Stroud throughout the contest. But the Colts came up short,“I mean, it hurts," Richardson said after the game. "You don't want to lose, especially not in the division, not in this league, you don't want to lose. It definitely hurts taking those L's. But you learn from them.
But from the jump, Steichen was dialing up shots for his big-armed quarterback. Richardson tested the Texans' defense deep multiple times throughout the first half. Outside of a 69-yard touchdown to a wide-open“There was opportunities," Richardson elaborated. "We knew they were going to try to take away some of the deep shots, but they played us in. We liked our match-up, we like our receivers to get open, we've just got to execute at the end of the day.
Coming out of the half, the Colts looked much better as they switched up their plan of attack. Indy was leaning on Taylor and the run game while calling quicker throws for Richardson to get easy completions. Richardson subbing himself out of the game is incredibly bad optics for a quarterback who has struggled all season and is already facing criticism for staying on the field. With teammates like Taylor, Buckner, Downs,battling through injuries to go out and play each week, Richardson cannot call to be subbed just because he is tried. While the impact on the game was minimal, the message it sends is terrible.
