The Indianapolis Colts are 2-6 on the season after their 42-7 defeat at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars that led to a Josh Downs no-show in the locker room. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor had a rough day at the office then sent a stern message after the game, on a day when Anthony Richardson replaced Daniel Jones at QB.
Coach Shane Steichen said he’s going to evaluate who will be the starting quarterback going forward, which led to comments from Richardson in the Colts locker room, shared by James Boyd of The Athletic.
“I can’t really focus too much on it, just gotta keep doin’ what I been doin’, prepare to be the starter, regardless, regardless of what decisions he makes, I just gotta make sure I’m prepared when my number’s called.”
