Colts begin final 5-game stretch against Patriots with a chance to make a run at the playoffs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Anthony Richardson has been through a bit of everything during his first two NFL seasons.

He had his rookie year cut short after four games because of a shoulder injury last season. He dealt with a hip injury this season and then was benched for two games after he drew criticism for taking himself out of a game because of fatigue.

But after an up-and-down start to 2024, Richardson also still has a chance to lead the Colts (5-7) somewhere they haven’t been been since 2020: the playoffs.

Beginning Sunday with a trip to face the New England Patriots (3-9), Indianapolis’ remaining opponents — also including Denver, Tennessee, New York Giants and Jacksonville — have a combined 17-41 record.
