Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. shines in preseason finale against Lions

Anthony Richardson Sr. performed well in the Colts' preseason finale against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, completing 7 of 10 passes for 80 yards before being replaced by Riley Leonard midway through the second quarter. His first pass was a notable 24-yard completion to Keenan Allen, showcasing his arm strength. With Leonard struggling during the preseason, Richardson's performance kept him in the contention for the backup quarterback position behind Daniel Jones. The game featured defensive highlights as well, such as a key interception by cornerback Sauce Gardner. Richardson's solid outing comes as uncertainty lingers over his future with the team following a prior trade request.
