Colts counting on Richardson-Taylor pairing to help change the conversation with a playoff return

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS EXPECTATIONS: The Colts have heard all about the streaks. To do that, second-year coach Shane Steichen needs second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson to deliver in two key areas — staying healthy and throwing consistently well enough to win. Richardson should have more help this season with all five starting offensive linemen back, 2021 NFL rushing champ Jonathan Taylor happy and healthy and possibly the Colts’ strongest receiving groups in years. Add Michael Pittman Jr., one of the NFL’s toughest receivers, to a mix that includes a motivated Mitchell, speedy Josh Downs and third-year receiver Alec Pierce and the possibilities seem endless. Indy also needs to settle on a starting free safety and would like to see one of last year’s five tight ends emerge as a go-to option.
