Yahoo Sports NFL on Anthony Richardson
From the article
I don't even think I played that well, honestly. Fumble, interception early. I've got to limit the turnovers. You can't win games with multiple turnovers.
STACKED’s take
Richardson self-critical after preseason debut; turnovers overshadow efficiency gains.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson completed 11 of 14 passes for 145 yards with no touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble in the preseason opener; he also ran six times for 53 yards and a touchdown. Richardson expressed dissatisfaction with his performance, stating 'I don't even think I played that well, honestly' and emphasizing that turnovers overshadowed positive aspects like ball movement. Head coach Shane Steichen was more optimistic, noting Richardson 'did some good things' and moved the ball efficiently, but acknowledged turnovers hurt the team's ability to maintain drives. The context underscores that Richardson, drafted fourth overall in 2023, is now competing for the No. 2 job heading into Year Four—a significant step down from draft expectations.
