Colts Reignite Season with Richardson as Starting QB, Benching Flacco

The Indianapolis Colts have benched Joe Flacco in favor of rookie Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback. Flacco, who was initially brought in to provide a spark, struggled with turnovers, throwing four interceptions and losing two fumbles in consecutive losses. Despite his disappointment, Flacco acknowledged his inability to uplift the team's performance. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Richardson will start for the remainder of the season, though Flacco may still see playtime if injuries occur.
