The 39-year-old Flacco is 71/108 (65.7 percent) for 716 yards with seven touchdowns, one interception and a passer rating of 102.2 this season. Flacco tagged in for an injured Richardson in Week 4 and guided the Colts to a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, then posted the 10th-highest passer rating (121.3) of his 17-year career in Week 5’s 37-34 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Flacco again started the Colts’ 20-17 Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Steichen said Monday the Colts were “evaluating everything,” including Richardson’s place as the team’s starting quarterback, following their 23-20 Week 8 loss to the Houston Texans.
“Not giving up on Anthony by any means,” Steichen said. “He’s a really young player with a ton of talent.”
Richardson will be the Colts’ backup quarterback, Steichen said.
