Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen took a big chance on one final play call Sunday. He gave quarterback Anthony Richardson a run-pass option on a 2-point conversion — a play Richardson saw as no option at all.

At the end of October, questions lingered on Bryce Young’s availability on the trade market, and Anthony Richardson was in the process of being benched. Few talked much about the potential for the first and fourth picks in the 2023 NFL draft to bounce back, and show why they were taken that high in the first place.

In a game the Colts had to have to keep their postseason dreams alive, Richardson marched them 80 yards on 19 plays and pulled out a win.
