INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts have made another change at QB1.

Two weeks after stating that Joe Flacco would be team's starting quarterback moving forward, head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday, Nov. 13, that the team will be turning back to Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2023.

Richardson will start in the Colts' Week 11 matchup with the Jets, Steichen said, and is expected to remain the starter for the rest of the season.

“It’s the attention to detail in everything he does," Steichen said of Richardson. "All the little things just have to be at a higher standard. That was discussed with him two weeks ago, and he’s made strides in those areas. He’s a pros pro. It’s my job to get him there.”

"We have a lot of faith that Anthony is our franchise quarterback," Steichen said.

Flacco, 39, has struggled the last two weeks, committing six turnovers in two ugly losses.
