Richardson led the Colts to a thrilling 25-24 win on Sunday.
The Indianapolis Colts eked out a gritty 25-24 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, marking the second time this season quarterback Anthony Richardson has led his team on a game-winning drive. It’s also the first time a Colts quarterback has won in New England since Peyton Manning in 2006.
Richardson hardly put together a flawless performance, throwing as many picks as he did touchdown passes, but he came in clutch late in the fourth quarter when the Colts needed a touchdown to tie the game. The young Indy quarterback even did one better and clinched the win on a two-point conversion after driving down the field and finding Alec Pierce for the game-tying score. With 12 seconds left, Richardson faked the handoff to Jonathan Taylor and powered it into the end zone himself for the successful two-point try.
It’s going to be thrilling to watch Richardson play January football if the Colts can sneak into an AFC wild card spot in the coming weeks.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
