Colts bench ‘tired’ Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco in QB shocker
NY Post
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 prime-time road game against the Vikings.
Richardson, 22, is coming off a dreadful 10-for-32 performance in a 23-20 loss to the Texans in Week 8 that included him asking out for one play because he felt “tired.”
The second-year quarterback told reporters he removed himself from the game in the third quarter while facing a third-and-goal at the Texans’ 23-yard line since he felt “tired, ain’t gonna lie.”
Richardson had run a decent amount of the previous play while being sacked.

It didn’t take long for Karl-Anthony Towns to impact his regular-season debut at the Garden, for Towns — the preseason blockbuster acquisition — to elevate toward the rim, slam the ball through the net, hang on for an extra second and then let out a roar.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass — From the day he walked into their lives, there wasn’t a soul among the Jets, from top to bottom, who couldn’t stop telling the world how Aaron Rodgers raised the standard of everyone in the building, and how he elevated everyone with his football wisdom and the kind of magical right arm none of them had ever seen.
The Rangers saw two ends to the NHL’s spectrum in three days, beginning with the defending Stanley Cup champions and ending with the third-to-last team in the league last season.
Aaron Boone blew it.
