Colts’ Anthony Richardson scores two rushing TDs in first quarter

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson got the offense on the board early with two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter of the Week 2 game against the Houston Texans.

The rookie led the first drive of the game for a 10-play, 75-yard series, capping it off with an 18-yard touchdown run on a quarterback draw play. He was 5-of-6 passing for 50 yards.

Almost immediately after the opening drive, the Colts defense forced and recovered a fumble inside the 20-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage following the fumble recovery, Richardson took a 15-yard run for another score.

Unfortunately, Richardson wound up sustaining a concussion at the end of the second rushing touchdown. He stayed in for two more drives, both of which were three-and-outs, before being ruled out due to a concussion.
