The Indianapolis Colts made their midseason quarterback switch to Joe Flacco from Anthony Richardson with a sole focus on the present. They turned to the steady hand and still-strong arm of a 17-year veteran for their best chance to catch the vulnerable Houston Texans in the division race.

The Colts only had two field goals by Matt Gay to show for their second half. The fumble return touchdown by Kenny Moore II was the extent of their first-half production. Over their last three games, they’ve totaled three offensive touchdowns. “There might have been a few completions here and there that we could’ve had, but he’s a calm guy playing at a high level for a long time,” Steichen said. “I can say I have a lot of faith in him.”“We crossed the 50 a lot and just kind of stalled out where it was just too far to be a field goal,” wide receiver Alec Pierce said. “We need to do a better job of sustaining those drives.”
“We didn’t necessarily have to stack the box too much,” Smith said. “I think it was just guys up front getting off blocks and making plays.”“We’ll get that cleaned up,” Steichen said. “I have full faith that we’ll get that cleaned up.”
