Joe Flacco, the veteran quarterback, proved once again that he is always ready when his number is called. His experience in the league speaks for itself, having reached the pinnacle of success and amassed a considerable fortune over the years. In fact, he has been around so long that he is only eight days younger than the mother of his teammate, Richardson.
When Flacco was called into action late in the first quarter, he didn’t miss a beat. He immediately connected with Josh Downs for a touchdown, bolstering the lead to 14-0. Throughout the game, he added another touchdown and 168 passing yards. Despite some struggles to maintain the lead, Flacco remained composed and managed to convert crucial third downs, helping the Colts secure their second victory of the season.
Many may prefer not to see Flacco starting for the rest of the season, but the Colts have confidence in him. As one fan expressed, “Do I feel comfortable going into week five if he has to start against Jacksonville? Yes.” Flacco was brought in as a free agent for moments like these, providing a reliable backup plan for the team in case of injuries. His performance on Sunday showcased that he is more than just a backup option.
The question remains whether Flacco will have to take the field again this week. While Richardson’s injury may not be serious, Flacco stands prepared to step in if needed. His professionalism and readiness are qualities that Colts fans can rely on as the team aims to secure their third consecutive win. As one commentator put it, “Flacco is the ultimate professional. He will be ready regardless.” This bodes well for the Colts as they continue their campaign for success on the gridiron.
