NFL veteran Joe Flacco given shock start for the Colts as Anthony Richardson fails to prove his fitness

Joe Flacco will once again start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, after Anthony Richardson was unable to prove his fitness in time for today’s game.

Richardson has practiced all week as he tries to overcome an oblique injury, but it has now been decided that he is not fit enough to start the game.

Instead, he will be an emergency QB3, with Flacco, 39, starting under center with Sam Ehlinger as his backup.
