EAGAN, Minn. -- Amid a tough moment of his career last weekend, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson got a surprise pep talk. It came from the opposing coach after the Colts' 21-13 loss Sunday night to the Minnesota Vikings, a game Richardson watched from the sideline after losing his starting job to Joe Flacco.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell approached him and, according to an NFL Films video that circulated this week, said: "You're a bad dude and you're going to play a long time in this league."
He added: "I still believe in you. I know these guys do, too."
