Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson struggled significantly during the game against the Houston Texans, completing only 2 of 15 passes in the first half for 81 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception—resulting in a 13% completion percentage, the lowest for a Colts quarterback since 1991. Despite his poor performance, Richardson connected with wide receiver Josh Downs for a 69-yard touchdown. Before leaving the game due to a lower leg injury in the second half, Richardson had completed just 4 of 17 passes. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco replaced him, marking the fifth time in Richardson's 10 NFL starts that he has been sidelined due to injury.
