Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen provided a simple explanation for making the quarterback change Wednesday.
He wants to win now - and so do the Colts.
One day after news broke that Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 draft, would be benched in favor of 39-year-old Joe Flacco, Steichen made his first public comments and acknowledged he made the decision for one reason, committing to Flacco for the foreseeable future.
"It's my obligation to 53 guys in this organization to win football games," he said. "Right now, Joe Flacco gives us the best chance."
The 22-year-old Richardson has struggled with his performance and his health.
