INDIANAPOLIS -- If there was ever a play that exemplified precisely why quarterback Anthony Richardson appealed to the Indianapolis Colts, it came with 5:42 remaining in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Richardson lined up in the shotgun and initiated a handoff to running back Jonathan Taylor. But this being a read-option play, what Richardson did next would be dictated by Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig. When Herbig came barreling down the line of scrimmage toward Taylor, Richardson pulled the ball back and made the play a quarterback keeper.
