Anthony Richardson Electrifies NFL Fans with Comeback Win vs. Drake Maye, Patriots

The Indianapolis Colts improved to 6-7 on Sunday after downing the New England Patriots 25-24 in the final moments.

With just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Colts trailed 24-17, but used a 19-play, 80-yard drive capped off by a touchdown pass from Anthony Richardson plus a successful two-point conversion to take the lead with just 12 seconds remaining.

Richardson shook off two interceptions to finish with 109 passing yards and two touchdowns along with 48 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.

After the impressive game-winning drive, fans praised Richardson on social media.

Richardson had a rough start to the season but has started to turn things around after being benched for Joe Flacco a few weeks ago. Since his return, he's won two of three games—both of which were capped off by game-winning drives from Richardson—and has given the Colts a chance to make the playoffs.

A postseason appearance for Indianapolis is still a long shot, but it has four manageable opponents to close out the season after picking up the win on Sunday.

After a shaky start to his career, Richardson is hoping to turn things around and live up to the hype that followed him into the NFL from college. He clearly still has a long way to go—two interceptions on Sunday are evidence of that—but his composure on the Colts' final drive showed that he's capable of showing up in big moments and Indianapolis will look for him to do it again in the future.
