Writer Michael Roberts argues that the Indianapolis Colts should consider starting quarterback Anthony Richardson to spark their struggling 2-6 season. Despite Richardson replacing a benched Daniel Jones during a 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Shane Steichen announced that Jones will remain the starter against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.
