Flacco, Colts Offense Disappoint NFL Fans in Vikings Loss After Richardson Benching

Following the Minnesota Vikings' 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night, fans criticized veteran quarterback Joe Flacco and the Colts for their lack of offensive production.

After going scoreless in the first half, the Vikings pulled off a comeback, scoring 14 unanswered points to secure the win and improve to 6-2 on the season, while the Colts fell to 4-5 after back-to-back losses.

Flacco earned his third start of the season on Sunday over 22-year-old Anthony Richardson and completed 16-of-27 passes for 179 yards, with one interception and one fumble.

On the other side of the field, Sam Darnold completed 28-of-34 passes for 290 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson contributed with seven receptions for 137 yards.

Jefferson also helped put the game away for the Vikings after securing a near-perfect onside kick from the Colts.

Some on social media believe that Flacco, who turns 40 in January, wasn't the best option to secure a win for the Colts on Sunday.

Following Sunday's loss to the Vikings, fans are calling for head coach Shane Steichen to bench the 18-year veteran and return to second-year player Richardson.

Next Sunday, the Colts will seek redemption as they face the challenge of the 7-2 Buffalo Bills at home.
