Members of the Indianapolis Colts were supportive of the team's decision to bench quarterback Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"One thing was clear, as several sources pointed out: While players went on the record in support of Richardson, several did so believing that he was not the best answer for their current team," Rapoport reported Sunday.
The NFL insider added that "several sources with knowledge of the thinking of Colts players say they believe this choice was the right one."
Richardson has had a tough start to the season.
