No topic a shaky performance in the Indianapolis Colts’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Joe Flacco will silent be below center transferring ahead.
Per The Athletic’s James Boyd, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said after the recreation that Flacco will live the starter over second-365 days quarterback Anthony Richardson “honest appropriate now.” Boyd also reported that Steichen said he did not feel inclined to construct Richardson in for Flacco at any point on Sunday.
