Joe Flacco’s struggles draw boos from Colts fans and questions about another QB change
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen heard the boos Sunday. Two weeks after Steichen announced Flacco’s promotion to starter because the coach believed the longtime veteran gave Indy the best chance of winning, the questions about changing course again and reverting to Richardson began in earnest. Like I said, I’m going to go back and look at everything, but right now, that’s where we’re at.” Flacco’s final line in the Colts’ 30-20 loss to Buffalo was 26 of 35 for 272 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Flacco has six turnovers including in two starts since replacing Richardson, he’s 1-3 as Indy’s starter this season, and he has produced Indy’s two lowest single-game outputs in total yards. Naturally, Indy’s fans didn’t wait until a third straight loss was official to let Steichen and the Colts’ brain trust — or Flacco — know what they thought despite Richardson’s league-low 44% completion percentage.
