Playing without Anthony Richardson, the Colts lose to the Giants and have their playoff hopes end

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Indianapolis Colts had everything to play for against the New York Giants in the penultimate game of the season. Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes and ran for another, the defense intercepted two Joe Flacco passes and recovered a fumble and the Giants won for the first time since Oct. 6. That’s a group effort, everyone’s got to chip in and do their part, so stuff like that doesn’t happen.” Steichen, who led the Colts to a 9-8 record in his first season as coach in 2023, was asked if he was worried about his job after the team failed to have more than a two-game winning streak this season. The Colts had their chances early with Flacco leading the offense, but they settled for a couple of early field goals by Matt Gay, while the Giants scored touchdowns on Lock passes to Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson for a 21-6 lead. “We had something to play for today and obviously we didn’t get it done,” said Flacco, who finished 26 of 38 for 330 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
