Colts QB Anthony Richardson throws touchdown, interception in preseason game vs. Bengals

Anthony Richardson played more than a quarter in the final preseason game for the Indianapolis Colts.

Against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, Richardson started off the game looking nearly unstoppable. Granted, the Bengals were playing their second-stringers, but the second-year quarterback out of Florida moved the ball down the field well.

After that? Not so well. Richardson threw a pick-six in Indianapolis' second series and didn't complete many passes from there.

Here is how Richardson did against the Bengals.
