Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Flacco's play did not factor into the decision, but the 39-year-old says 'you're being evaluated' every time.

The Indianapolis Colts are changing course and have named quarterback Anthony Richardson the starter over Joe Flacco against the New York Jets in Week 11.

At a minimum, Richardson's athleticism gives the Colts a stable floor. When everything breaks down, he's not a statue just standing and holding the ball without hope for a first down.
