Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Wednesday that Joe Flacco is the Colts’ starting quarterback “going forward,” according to team reporter JJ Stankevitz.
“Joe gives us the best chance to win right now,” Steichen said at a press conference, per 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen.
“I’m just looking where we’re at as a football team, sitting at .500 with a lot of football left,” Steichen added, via Stankevitz.
Steichen said Anthony Richardson will serve as Flacco’s backup. The coach insisted the team isn’t casting the second-year quarterback aside.
