INDIANAPOLIS -- With the Los Angeles Rams already enjoying a 20-0 lead on Sunday and the game quickly spiraling out of control, the Indianapolis Colts could ill afford an unforced error from their quarterback.
Yet, with 4:39 remaining in the second quarter, Anthony Richardson did exactly that, fumbling an accurate shotgun snap from center Wesley French. The ball inexplicably slipped through Richardson’s hands and popped into the air. By the time he corralled it, two defenders were converging and Richardson had no alternative but to give himself up after a 2-yard loss.
