Anthony Richardson leads Colts past Jets in return to starting role

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The sharp suit Anthony Richardson donned for his arrival at MetLife Stadium on Sunday suggested he meant business.

But when the Indianapolis Colts quarterback engineered two fourth-quarter touchdown drives -- including the game winner with 46 seconds remaining -- to beat the New York Jets and simultaneously justify his reinstatement as the team's starter, Richardson left no doubt he'd come here with a purpose.

Richardson, the No. 4 draft pick in 2023, had perhaps the best day of his young career while leading the Colts to a 28-27 win that kept their postseason hopes alive and reversed a concerning downward trend on offense -- not to mention ended a three-game losing streak.
