The Indianapolis Colts raised eyebrows around the NFL when they announced Anthony Richardson would not be making the start against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
The decision comes in the aftermath of one of the quarterback's worst performances to date. He went 10-of-32 from 175 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also took five sacks, posted a QBR of 30.3 and drew attention for taking himself out of the game at one point because he was "tired."
To be clear, it wasn't a good performance for Richardson, but it should have been expected based on his profile coming out of Florida.
