For those who don’t know the most recent updates and reports, Anthony Richardson will not be the team’s starting quarterback. Yes, you heard it correctly. These reports have told us that Joe Flacco will enter the gridiron to lead the Colts against the Titans, with Richardson serving as a backup for the time being. The context is that the quarterback is medically cleared, but team management does not want to take any risks. For these reasons, he is serving as a backup this week and may return for the Colts in the following game.

It is well known how this matchup is critical for the Colts given their present position in the season. They need to win the game by a large margin to get some much-needed momentum. On the other hand, the Titans not having a strong record against the Colts will work as a cherry on top for them. If we look at the all-time record, the teams have met each other 59 times, with the Colts leading with 37 victories. Although this is a positive thing, it is safe to say that Anthony Richardson’s absence may have an impact on the team’s psychological integrity.

Aside from these elements, let’s take a look at their starting QB for the game Joe Flacco and how is his record against the Titans.

Is Joe Flacco better than Anthony Richardson against the Titans?

Well! Nothing, in particular, can be answered about this question because the stats of both players are insufficient to assess the two of them. For those who do not know, Anthony Richardson has only faced the Titans once in his career, but he stood tall that day. Flacco, on the other side, has faced the team six times, winning three games and losing three.

Aside from that, based on Joe Flacco’s performance this season, he appears to be an ideal replacement for Richardson. Many of you would now know that this season, the man has a 70% successful throw percentage, which is incredible. Not only that, but he has 527 yards and 5 touchdowns in just two games. These records show how talented he is and why he was picked as the starter QB after Richardson.
