    Anthony Richardson stats, highlights for Colts vs. Texans in week 8

    Vaseline Posted on

    Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has a rough outing in a 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans in NFL Week 8.

    The No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, who has struggled to complete half of his passes this season, and he hasn’t helped himself here. The No. 2 pick in that draft, Houston’s CJ Stroud, completed 25 of 37 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown.

    3rd down play: 2-of-8 for 35 yards, with 2 first downs. He runs for a first down, gets sacked once and fumbles a run play.

    4th down plays: 1-on-1 for 14 yards and a first down, and a run of 12 yards for a first down.

    Long pass plays (21+ yards downfield): 2-of-10, 93 yards, 1 TD.

    Last 2 minutes: 1-of-6 for 14 yards, 1 run for 26 yards, a game-ending sack and a late first-half interception leading to a Houston touchdown.

    Highlights by Anthony Richardson

    Anthony Richardson goes 4-for-7 for 65 yards on a 4th quarter touchdown drive, highlighted by a 24-yard connection with Josh Downs to the 1. One play before that, Tyler Goodson dropped what would have been a TD .

    Things got wild in the third quarter, as Richardson ran to convert a 4th-down play and then scrambled wildly to avoid a big sack after the Colts reached the red zone. He left the game before the final play of the drive, which ended with a Matt Gay field goal.

    Anthony Richardson throws two terrible passes in the final minute of the first half. One should have been intercepted, and this one set up Houston’s go-ahead goal.

    Richardson had one big play in the first half…

    …and so many who just miss the mark.
