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.
With the Jets 3-8 leading 27-22 after Anders Carlson's 35-yard field goal with 241 remaining, Richardson - who sat out the last two games in favor of Joe Flacco - marched the Colts down the field.
