Flacco was not at his best in their loss to the Vikings. With one interception and zero touchdowns on 27 attempts (59.3% completion percentage), the 17-year veteran was ineffective. The whole world witnessed the Colts hit the field just days after benching the quarterback tasked with reviving their franchise, thanks to the game’s national television coverage.

This action embarrassed Steichen and everyone else in Indy’s front office. Although Richardson’s historically poor completion % is noticeable, his game more than compensates for it. His mobility and deep ball help the Colts get over his lack of accuracy, which allows them more leeway in their playbook.

Those are hardly casual remarks from one of the league’s top young coaches, O’Connell. His football brain understands that Richardson still has a long career ahead of him and that he will be OK as long as he keeps training.
