Colts' Anthony Richardson: Struggles in tough road environment

Richardson completed 17 of 34 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions and added four carries for 37 yards in the Colts' 16-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles that he recovered.

Richardson's growing pains were on display Sunday against a Packers defense that seemed intent on carrying more of the load than usual with Jordan Love (knee) sidelined. Two of Richardson's interceptions came in deep in Packers territory, while the third was on a Hail Mary to end the game. Richardson once again displayed the most chemistry with Alec Pierce, who finished with a 5-56-1 line on a team-high seven targets, but otherwise, he failed to establish any meaningful rapport with No. 1 receiver Michael Pittman (3-21 on seven targets). Richardson has failed to complete 50 percent of his passes through his first two games, so he'll aim for more efficiency in a tough home matchup against Caleb Williams and the Bears in a Week 3 battle.
