Richardson's late TD run leads Colts to a 28-27 victory over Rodgers and the Jets
Anthony Richardson ran for a 4-yard touchdown, his second of the game, with 46 seconds left in his return to the starting role to lift the Indianapolis Colts to a 28-27 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Anthony Richardson was back as the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback — and played as though he intends to never leave the huddle again.
The No. 4 overall pick in last year's NFL draft ran for a 4-yard touchdown, his second of the game, with 46 seconds left in his return from a two-game benching to lift the Colts to a 28-27 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on Sunday.
“I won’t say I was the most prepared or most confident,” Richardson said. “It was the most relaxed I’ve been. There really wasn’t any pressure on me. I was just out there taking it one play at a time. I just focused on my assignment. I wasn’t trying to press or do anything too much.”
Until the Colts (5-6) really needed him. And he might have helped save their season.
