Anthony Richardson’s NFL debut didn’t go so good Saturday, but let’s be honest: He was playing with the Indianapolis Colts tied behind his back.
Matt Gay missed an easy field goal. Darrell Baker Jr. missed an easy interception. Al-Quadin Muhammad missed an easy sack. Alec Pierce dropped an easy touchdown. And Isaiah McKenzie made two big boo-boos that cost Richardson dearly. That’s offense, defense and special teams. “Complementary football,” coaches love to call it when all three phases play well.That’s what the first quarter of this 23-19 loss against Buffalo, the only quarter that matters, felt like: An insult.
And Richardson belonged on that field. Every now and then he looked too good for the Bills, and yes, thanks for noticing, Richardsonthrow an interception. If that’s what you saw on that play, if that’s all you saw, thank goodness you’re here right now. Because you didn’t see enough, and I did, and in a moment I’ll show you what you missed.
Now Richardson’s in the open field, and Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam is in the way. They were teammates at Florida, and this is only the preseason. Meaning, who cares if Richardson goes easy on his college buddy? Answer: Richardson cares. He lowers his shoulder and runs through Elam for an extra yard. Just because he could.Also: He can throw the nicest deep ball we’ve seen here since, um, Andrew Luck. Hey it’s true.
