However, in the post game press conference, he was a little more open in his answers. Your thoughts on tonight's game? Josh: Great environment tonight and I just thought our defense controlled the line of scrimmage.

Anthony Richardson did not get off to a great start in the Indianapolis Colts Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears. Richardson completed four of his first 10 passes for 110 yards and an interception. Things would have looked worse, but a whistle saved Richardson from throwing another pick earlier in the game. The one he was credited with throwing was one that will be hard to forget. Richardson rolled to his left and just kind of flicked the ball into the end zone.
