Colts Stick with Joe Flacco as Starting QB Against Jets
Despite recent struggles, Coach Shane Steichen continues to favor Flacco's veteran presence over Anthony Richardson's youthful inconsistency.
- Joe Flacco, 39, will start his third consecutive game for the Colts against the New York Jets, despite having thrown six interceptions in two games.
- Coach Shane Steichen defends his decision, citing Flacco's experience and leadership as crucial for the Colts' playoff hopes.
- The Colts have lost three straight games, dropping to a 4-6 record, but remain just one game behind the final playoff spot in the AFC.
- Anthony Richardson, the 22-year-old backup, has been benched but remains part of the team's future plans despite his current league-worst completion percentage.
- Flacco's performance in earlier games, where he showed promise, is a key factor in Steichen's decision to keep him as the starter.
