Indianapolis Colts veteran Joe Flacco will serve as the team's starting quarterback "going forward," head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday. Steichen noted that it's not just a one-week switch from former first-round draft pick Anthony Richardson to the 39-year-old Flacco. The Colts (4-4) had won four of their previous five games before dropping a 23-20 decision to the AFC South-leading Houston Texans (6-2) on Sunday. "I'm just looking where we're at as a football team, sitting at .500 with a lot of football left," Steichen said, "and feel that Joe gives us the best chance going forward." Flacco will be under center for Indianapolis' game on Sunday night versus the Minnesota Vikings (5-2) in Minneapolis.
