#2 Indianapolis Colts: 5-6
Remember when Anthony Richardson was benched after "needing a breather" in Week 8? That decision backfired badly.
The Colts lost their next two games as Joe Flacco lost the ball six times, forcing them to go back on their word and bring back their sophomore. And it worked - at the New York Jets, Richardson was dominant, passing for a career-high 272 yards and a touchdown, as well as rushing for six twice.
