Shane Steichen confirms Joe Flacco will start against Jets

After Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Joe Flacco will remain the team’s quarterback.until I say otherwise.”

Steichen said no differently on Monday. At a press conference, Steichen confirmed that Flacco will get a fresh start when the Colts face the Jets in Week 11.

The Colts benched Anthony Richardson in favor of Flacco two weeks ago and have lost both games since the move was made. Flacco was 42 of 62 for 451 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in the losses to the Vikings and Bills.

The losses dropped the Colts to 4-6 on the season, so they really need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Steichen believes Flacco is the right man to get one, although oddsmakers have the Jets as the favorite.
