Anthony Richardson Called Out by Fans for Struggles in Colts' Loss to Stroud, Texans

Anthony Richardson wrapped up a disappointing performance on Sunday.

Richardson dealt with inconsistency once again as the Indianapolis Colts suffered a 23-20 loss at the hands of the Houston Texans.

The Colts' signal-caller finished 10-of-32 for 175 yards and a touchdown to go along with an interception. He also added 45 yards on the ground.

Richardson started off slow and never recovered, completing just two of his 15 pass attempts in the first half. He also threw an ugly interception just before halftime, helping the Texans take a 17-10 lead.

Indianapolis initially jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the first quarter due to a 69-yard touchdown pass from Richardson to Josh Downs, but the team was limited to just 10 points over the final three quarters of play.

The Colts still had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter, trailing by three points with roughly one minute remaining. They couldn't get into Houston's territory to kick a field goal before Richardson fumbled on the final play of the game.

Offensive coordinator Shane Steichen's unit was repeatedly unable to move the chains, converting a mere two of 13 opportunities on third down.

Fans called out Richardson and the Colts following the loss.

For the Texans, C.J. Stroud was efficient through the air against the Colts' secondary. Stroud finished 25-of-37 for 285 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over.

Indianapolis fell to 4-4 with the loss, while Houston gained some separation atop the AFC South standings and improved to 6-2.
