Colts beat Eagles 27-13 in preseason finale, as QB Anthony Richardson shows more strides

The Indianapolis Colts (2-1) beat the Philadelphia Eagles (0-2-1) in the preseason finale, 27-13, on Thursday Night Football.

The biggest story of the night—and likely all season, will be the continued development and growth of rookie starting quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Despite being only 21 years of age and with just 13 collegiate starts, from what he showed on Thursday night, Richardson may be further along than some NFL pundits anticipated.

Yes, there are some inconsistencies—including ball security (with a fumble on TNF) and some errant high throws here and there, but there’s a lot to like regarding Richardson right now.
