Richardson throws for TD and runs for 2 with 12 seconds left as Colts beat Patriots 25-24

Associated Press  

— Anthony Richardson is getting used to having the ball in his hands in close games. Indianapolis’ second-year quarterback threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce with 12 seconds left and ran for the go-ahead 2-point conversion, and the Colts beat New England 25-24 on Sunday when the Patriots’ Joey Slye missed a 68-yard field goal attempt as time expired. It was the second comeback win in three games for Richardson, who also ran for a TD in the final minute to beat the New York Jets two weeks ago. “Just can’t settle for four field goals in the red zone and expect to win ballgames.” Matt Gay put the Colts in front 17-16 with a 25-yard field goal early in the third quarter. The Patriots possessed the ball for nine minutes more than the Colts in the first half, but they came away with one TD and three field goals in four red-zone trips.
