Richardson leads 70-yard game-winning drive to help Colts beat Jets 28-27

INDIANAPOLIS — The New York Jets host the Indianapolis Colts during Week 11 of the NFL season.

When 22-year-old Anthony Richardson takes the field for the Colts Sunday, he’ll square off against 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers of the Jets in a showdown between the NFL’s second-youngest starting QB and the league's oldest. 

Colts coach Shane Steichen made the move this week to return Richardson, the fourth overall pick last year, after a two-game benching. 

“I have to make sure I’m doing the right thing and keep showcasing to Shane that I can be the guy and that I am the guy for this team,” said Richardson, who's three months older than New England's Drake Maye. “So, it’s not really up to him. I felt like the past couple of weeks was up to me as well. I just have to showcase the work and just keep showing them that I’m willing to be the quarterback for this franchise.”

Richardson has struggled in his second NFL season, throwing seven interceptions with just four TD passes in six games. The Colts enter having lost three straight. Rodgers and the Jets have dropped six of seven.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Keep it here all game long for live updates as they happen.
