Joe Flacco will remain the starter against the Jets

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed on Monday that Joe Flacco will remain the starting quarterback when the Colts take on the Jets on Sunday.

Flacco threw three interceptions and had a fumble on Sunday in the loss to the Bills. He completed 26 of his 35 pass attempts for 272 yards and two touchdowns.

In the first game he started after taking over for Anthony Richardson, the offense did not score a touchdown. Flacco threw for 179 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in the loss to the Vikings that week.

“Joe’s a veteran guy like I’ve said,” Steichen said. “He’s had two games that he’d want back, but again, he goes out there and throws some good passes, obviously the interceptions, there’s three of those. There’s two that he’d want back. Again, you stick with it. You grind through the process of this whole thing. It really is a process.”

The Colts (4-6) will look to end their three game losing streak against the Jets on Sunday at 1 p.m. in New York.
