The Indianapolis Colts are caught in a quarterback controversy after Joe Flacco fell apart against the Vikings.
starting under center. Indy fell 21-13 to drop underneath .500 and have more questions than solutions after a perplexing offensive game plan from Shane Steichen that got the Colts a mere 6 points from kicker. Once Steichen was in front of the media after the embarrassing defeat, he'd confirm that Flacco is the starter for the season.
I asked Shane Steichen if Joe Flacco might have a certain limit before getting pulled as the starter, as with Anthony Richardson, and he said they're sticking with Flacco for the season.Many Colts fans felt Flacco was bad enough against the Vikings to warrant Steichen to switch back to Richardson, but that wasn't the case. The 17-year veteran QB finished with 16/27 completions for 179 yards, 0 scores, and an interception.
The consensus was the offense's efficiency would increase with Flacco running things, but that wasn't the result. Running backlooked overwhelmed by the Vikings' blitzing defenders, finishing with 3.7 yards per carry. This was bad enough for one of his most underwhelming performances all year, displaying that Flacco's immobility negatively contributes to Taylor's chances of success.
