C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson are good friends who have known each other since high school. On Sunday the two quarterbacks will put aside those warm feelings when Stroud leads the Houston Texans against Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts.
Despite the losses, both quarterbacks did some good things in their NFL debuts after Stroud was taken second overall in this year’s draft and Richardson was selected two picks later.
Richardson certainly learned a lot in his first NFL game, but perhaps the most important thing the dual-threat QB took from his first start was that he’ll need to slide more at the end of runs. “It was fun,” he said. “I took in every moment, and I think the team did a really good job. Of course, we made some mistakes, but we just have to keep learning and getting better. We need to do a better job in the red zone, and we can be a really good defense.”Indy’s running game struggled mightily last week without the top two backs, 2021 NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss. Richardson had 10 carries for 40 yards, while the rest of the team logged 16 carries for 25 yards.
The Texans could use him to beef up their receiving group after Noah Brown was placed on the injured reserve with a groin injury this week.Perhaps the biggest problem for Indy in the opener was its inability to convert on third and fourth down. Indy finished 2 of 12 on third down, 16.7%, and was 1 of 5 on fourth down, 20%. The numbers even included a failed quarterback sneak on fourth-and-inches.
