Richardson’s late TD run leads Colts to a 28-27 victory over Rodgers and the Jets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Anthony Richardson was back as the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback — and played as though he intends to never leave the huddle again. 4 overall pick in last year’s NFL draft ran for a 4-yard touchdown, his second of the game, with 46 seconds left in his return from a two-game benching to lift the Colts to a 28-27 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on Sunday. With the Jets leading 27-22 after Anders Carlson’s 35-yard field goal with 2:41 remaining, Richardson — who sat out the last two games in favor of Joe Flacco — marched the Colts down the field. I’m proud of him.” Taylor was stuffed on the 2-point try — giving Rodgers and the Jets one last chance, but with no timeouts left. Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s somebody else.” The Jets took their first lead at 14-13 early in the third quarter on an 18-yard touchdown run by Hall — set up by Javon Kinlaw’s strip-sack of Richardson and fumble recovery at the Colts 25 on Indianapolis’ second offensive snap of the second half.
