INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts are benching quarterback Anthony Richardson and starting Joe Flacco this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings, according to ESPN.
The benching comes on the heels of Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans, where Richardson removed himself during the third quarter and said he was tired.
Richarson was 10 for 32 for 175 yards and one touchdown. The number 4 overall pick in last year’s draft has a 44% completion percentage.
