NFL Report: Colts’ Anthony Richardson gets real on being benched for five games….

Richardson had one of his best days as a pro, and his touchdown run with just 46 seconds remaining helped the Colts get the win. He completed 20-of-30 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown, while also running 10 times for 32 yards and two touchdowns. Richardson showed off his physicality on the first touchdown run. When it comes to physical attributes, Richardson has everything. It was always going to be about if he could put it all together as a passer. Sunday’s game against the Jets was a step in the right direction.

For Richardson, the hope is that this performance is the first of many like it. He made many impressive throws and runs throughout the game, and if he is able to bring that on a consistent basis, the Colts will have a good chance in many games down the stretch. Indianapolis is now 5-6 on the season, so a Wild Card spot is not necessarily out of the realm of possibilities.
