Colts stars Richardson, Taylor surprise fans at local Dairy Queen
WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — It’s all in the hips.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor practiced their “sauce and toss” form at the Westfield Dairy Queen Tuesday while the team enjoyed its weekly day off.
Dressed in full Dairy Queen team gear, the two Colts stars appeared at the Dairy Queen to help promote the fast food chain’s Sauced and Tossed Parmesan Garlic and Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Baskets while also surprising fans with a full-on show.
Richardson tossed the chicken strips to Taylor, who then sauced them with a new signature move — swiveling his hips around to help sauce each strip. The duo then handed out chicken strip baskets to the dozens of fans in attendance.
“I think it’s big on just connecting. You know, outside of them just seeing us in the jersey,” Richardson said. “I think it’s good for them to see us in person and interact with us, you know, laugh and just crack jokes sometimes. So just connecting I think that’s a big thing for us.”

“Any place I like to call home, I’m huge on that, of giving back, being in the community as far as my home in Salem, New Jersey, then going to Wisconsin, and then now here being in Indy. I like to call this my third home,” Taylor said. “So anytime I get to to get out and interact and be amongst the community it’s special for me.”
On the football front, head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson, who missed the last two games with an oblique injury, is expected to start this weekend against the Miami Dolphins — barring any setback during practice this week.
Taylor continues to heal from a high ankle sprain. He said Wednesday will be a very important day of practice to see how he feels and assess whether he’ll be healthy enough to make his return against the Dolphins.
