INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had two chances to slide and avoid contact during the first quarter of Sunday's 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He didn't, and the result was he couldn't finish another game.
Richardson started fast, completing a 32-yard pass on the first snap. That drive ended with a touchdown, and he got the Colts back into the red zone on their second series before departing with a hip injury he could have avoided.
“Obviously, we want to get down in those situations,” coach Shane Steichen said. “But there are some situations where it is kind of awkward, guys are coming around and you don't want to slide. So we'll go back and look at it.”
