Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson willed his offense on a game-winning drive to beat the New York Jets, who can't seem to buy a win these days.
Just when it looked like the New York Jets were on their way to a much-needed victory, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had other things in mind. The Colts pulled off a comeback win, 28-27, capped by Richardson’s second rushing touchdown of the day. Jets kicker Anders Carlson drilled a 35-yard field goal with 2:41 left in the fourth quarter to give New York a five-point lead, knowing the Colts had to score a touchdown if they wished to take the win.
With some time on his side, Richardson used his second play of the game-winning drive to find Alec Pierce deep down the right sideline for a 39-yard pickup into Jets’ territory. Then Josh Downs hauled in a pass and took it to the 10-yard line for a 17-yard gain, and on 3rd-and-goal, Richardson just wouldn’t be denied. He pushed into the colored paint from four yards out, though Jonathan Taylor’s two-point conversion attempt failed.
For the Colts, Taylor had a tough time running with 57 yards on 24 carries, but Richardson had one of his best games passing this season with 272 yards on 20-of-30 through the air. His one touchdown pass went to Josh Downs, who had 84 yards to lead the game in the receiving category.
