NFL veteran Joe Flacco given shock start for the Colts as Anthony Richardson fails to prove his fitness

Joe Flacco will start again at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts after Anthony Richardson failed to prove his fitness in time for today’s game.

Instead, he’ll be an emergency QB3, with Flacco, 39, starting under center with Sam Ehlinger as his backup.
