Anthony Richardson gave the Indianapolis Colts a little bit of everything Sunday. He provided promising glimpses and demonstrated the strong arm that wowed NFL scouts when he was coming out of college. He also made errant throws and took too many chances.

the season-long challenge of sustaining drives and getting into the end zone proved problematic again. It’s the reason Indy has lost two straight home games and four of five overall as its playoff hopes fade.The most glaring error came in the second quarter when tight end Drew Ogletree allowed a pass to glance off his hands on the goal line two plays before Indy kicked its second short field goal. Had Ogletree caught the pass, Indy would have taken a 10-7 lead.

While Richardson’s numbers again weren’t terribly impressive — 11 of 28 with 172 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks and 10 carries for 61 yards — he needs more help than he got Sunday when the rest of the team accounted for just 35 additional yards rushing.
