Anthony Richardson was not good on Sunday during a pivotal game against the Houston Texans on the road.
His answer to reporters was even worse than his play.
Richardson dealt with inconsistency once again as the Indianapolis Colts lost 23-20 to the Houston Texans.
Anthony Richardson finished 10-of-32 for 175 yards and a touchdown to go along with an interception. He also added 45 yards on the ground.
In the second half, Richardson had the Colts’ offense in scoring position while down by 10 points. On second-and-goal, he was taken down at the line of scrimmage and appeared to get hurt as he subbed himself out of the game.
The former Florida Gators star has dealt with numerous injuries, so it was safe to say that this was another one.
That was not the case. As Richardson knelt and watched his team attempt to score a touchdown, the CBS broadcast revealed Richardson had subbed himself out because he was “out of breath.”
After the game, Anthony Richardson made things worse when he indeed confirmed he was simply tired.
“Tired, I ain’t gonna lie. That was a lot of running right there that I did. So, I just told Shane I needed a break right there.”
