The Colts are tired of Anthony Richardson.
Indianapolis is benching the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for veteran Joe Flacco following a much-scrutinized performance in Week 8 against the Texans, according to ESPN.
The Colts (4-4) are in the playoff race and clearly believe Flacco, 39, gives them the better chance to compete this year, starting with Sunday’s primetime game against the Vikings.
Richardson, 22, is coming off a dreadful 10-for-32 performance while also asking out of the 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday for one play because he felt “tired.”
