The Colts have relayed some intel as to why they benched Anthony Richardson.

“They want Richardson to take a step back, take a break from the pressures of the job and try to grow during this time,” Holder wrote on X.
“That is obviously different than what was said previously, when the consensus was that he should play and learn on the job.”
Holder added that Richardson was “pretty devastated” by the decision.
