HOUSTON -- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson wasn't on the field for a late-third-quarter play in a game in which his team trailed by two scores and later lost.

Curiously, Richardson wasn't on the sideline because he was hurt but, rather, because he was exhausted.

The second-year quarterback exited the game after scrambling around furiously on the previous two plays against the Houston Texans' defense. On a second-and-goal play from the Houston 23-yard line, Richardson shook off a would-be sack from defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi before turning up the field and looking for a target.
