Anthony Richardson stats, highlights for Colts vs. Texans in Week 8

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is having a tough time in a 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 8 of the NFL.

The No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has struggled to complete half of his passes this season, and he hasn't helped himself here. The No. 2 pick in that draft, Houston's CJ Stroud, completed 25 of 37 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown.

3rd down plays: 2 of 8 for 35 yards, with 2 first downs. He runs for the first down, gets sacked once and botches a run play.

4. Down plays: 1-of-1 for 14 yards and a first down and a 12-yard run for a first down.

Last 2 minutes: 1-of-6 for 14 yards, 1 run for 26 yards, a game-ending sack and an interception late in the first half that led to a Houston touchdown.

Anthony Richardson highlights

Things got wild in the third quarter when Richardson ran to convert a 4th down play and then ran wild to avoid a big sack after the Colts entered the red zone. He left the game for the final play of the drive, which ended with a Matt Gay field goal.

Anthony Richardson throws two terrible passes in the final minute of the first half. One should have been intercepted, and this one sets up Houston's go-ahead touchdown.

Richardson had a big play in the first half…

… and so many who narrowly missed the mark.
