The benching of Anthony Richardson has turned into a full-fledged fiasco of sorts, though it didn’t have to be that way. While conflicting reports from within the organization have suggested that Richardson was benched due to poor play, and ‘not at all’ due to his eventful sub-out that sent shockwaves throughout the NFL landscape, speculation from former NFL players might just be on the nose when it comes to why this happened.
To summarize, Colts head coach Shane Steichen claimed that the move was in no way influenced by the aforementioned play off.
