The Indianapolis colts have trade one of the youngest player in the entire NFL who has 3,000 passing yards and threw 30 touchdowns
INDIA PARK – Week one ended in a 31-21 loss to the defending AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium, where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson made history as the second-youngest player in NFL history to lead a franchise at quarterback. Richardson scored touchdowns both through the air and on the ground.
Under first-year head coach Shane Steichen, Indianapolis, who hasn’t won a season opener in ten years, unveiled a redesigned offense. According to Richardson, he gets into game mode mentally and physically by arriving early and going through the script. During his debut, the 21-year-old experienced an emotional roller coaster as he tried to maintain concentration on the task at hand while juggling exaggerated pre-game jitters. The Colts’ fourth-round selection on Sunday experienced both the happiness of realizing a lifelong dream and the heartache of losing.
I didn’t perform well enough since we lost,” Richardson remarked. However, it was nice to play my first game and spend time with my teammates. There was positive vibe. It was nice to be back playing football outside, even though we all need to clean up after ourselves.
In addition to completing 24 of 37 throws for 223 yards and a touchdown, Richardson also scored his first NFL touchdown and gained 40 running yards on 10 runs. The Colts managed to muster the following in 14 drives: punts in a row, touchdown, turnovers on downs, fumble by Deon Jackson, cautious finish to half, punt, fumble by Jackson, interception, consecutive punts, and turnover on downs with a goal-to-go. Not ideal in light of the two interceptions and defensive takeaways
