Anthony Richardson’s 13th career NFL start was not among his statistical finest.
The Indianapolis Colts' quarterback completed just 12 of his 24 pass attempts for 109 yards and he offset his two touchdown passes with a pair of interceptions.
But the way the 22-year-old finished the game showed the strides he’s continued to make in the three games since returning from his mid-season benching.
The Colts’ 19-play, 80-yard game-winning touchdown drive took 5:22 off the clock and was the longest game-winning drive in the league since 2001. Indianapolis was 3-for-3 on fourth down during the march, including Richardson’s 3-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Alec Pierce on fourth-and-goal moments before he ran in the two-point conversion with 12 seconds left for a 25-24 victory against the New England Patriots.
