Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and head coach Shane Steichen should now be on the same page.

Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reported that Steichen, Colts general manager Chris Ballard and Richardson sat down for 45 minutes to discuss the decision to bench the 22-year-old for the team's Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Richardson notably exited for a play during the team's Week 8 loss to the Houston Texans and said that he came out because he was "tired." Joe Flacco will start in Richardson's place in Week 9.
