NFL Fans Call for Anthony Richardson to Be Colts' QB1 After Joe Flacco's 4 Turnovers

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco's struggles were on full display during a 30-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Flacco finished 26-of-35 for 272 yards and two touchdowns to go along with three interceptions against the Bills. He gave the ball away once again with a fumble in the third quarter, ending the contest with four turnovers.

The veteran initially looked comfortable in the pocket as a replacement for Anthony Richardson after the 2023 first-round pick suffered an oblique injury. Flacco hasn't been able to stay effective once Richardson was benched ahead of Week 9, though.

The Colts have now lost both games since he was inserted back into the first-string offense, scoring just 33 total points over their last two contests. Flacco has been picked off four times in his past two starts.

Fans advocated for Richardson to become a starter once more following the loss.

The second-year quarterback dealt with his fair share of issues as a starter, completing just 44.4 percent of his throws and passing for four touchdowns compared to seven interceptions.

Still, Richardson has much more upside than Flacco and could gain more consistency if he's given more playing time to close out the year.

After a promising 4-3 start to the season, the Colts have now lost three straight games.
