The Colts made a quarterback change ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Vikings, but it did not have the desired effect.

Joe Flacco was 16 of 27 for 179 yards and an interception as the Colts posted a season-low 227 yards and failed to score a touchdown in a 21-13 loss to the Vikings. That dismal performance came despite the defense forcing three turnovers and the Colts getting just thirteen first downs, leading head coach Shane Steichen to be asked if Flacco will remain the team’s starter and if he still thinks the veteran gives the team a better chance of winning. win over Anthony Richardson.

“At the moment yes,” Steichen said in response to both questions.

The reason for moving from Richardson to Flacco was that the Colts are capable of making the playoffs and Richardson’s inaccuracy was keeping them from reaching their peak offensive performance. A few more performances like Sunday’s will make the playoffs seem like a dream for Indianapolis, so they should be much better at home next weekend against the Bills.
