Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen made headlines by benching quarterback Anthony Richardson in favor of Joe Flacco after Richardson's disappointing performance against the Houston Texans. Steichen emphasized that the decision was aimed at allowing Richardson to reset and improve his attention to detail.

After two weeks, Steichen announced that Richardson would reclaim his starting role, highlighting the progress he made in preparation and consistency. Richardson expressed gratitude for the benching, viewing it as a learning opportunity to enhance his professionalism and commitment to the team.

With Richardson back under center, he is focused on proving his worth as a franchise quarterback and contributing to the team's success. The Colts are optimistic that this experience will lead to a more focused and effective Richardson moving forward.
