00:00And in Richardson's overall stat line yesterday, not great, but did come up in the clutch.

00:09They were trailing in Foxborough yesterday by a touchdown 24-17 with just about five

00:15and a half minutes remaining in the fourth and final quarter.

00:18A.R. leads a 19-19 play, 80-yard drive that took up five minutes and 24 seconds.

00:26He throws a three-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pearce to make it 24-23.

00:31And then in my estimation, Shane Steichen makes the correct call on the road, Indianapolis

00:36goes for two, and they trust their 6'5", 250-pound quarterback, Anthony Richardson, to dive across

00:43the pylon.

00:44He does that.

00:45Indy wins in the clutch, 25-24.

00:48New England does cover as a two-and-a-half-point home dog.

00:52It was the right move to make there by going for the two-point conversion because you have

00:54the ultimate weapon, a quarterback that you can use to your advantage, and that play is

00:58your advantage, not the defense's advantage, and it worked out in their favor.

01:01However, Anthony Richardson is so talented.

01:04We knew that coming out of Florida, but you have to be consistent if you want to win consistently

01:09in the NFL.

01:10He just doesn't give you that.

01:11You see the splash plays.

01:12You see the effectiveness on the ground.

01:14You love to see that, but just making sometimes a simple pass and a simple read here, he's

01:18not making them.

01:19Now, they won the game, and you credit him for that.

01:20I thought they would win and get the cover.

01:22They didn't get the cover, but that's okay.

01:24By the way, the Houston Texans, and it's a shame.

01:26I don't know if anybody's going to be able to chase them down.

01:28They play the Dolphins, the Chiefs, the Ravens over the next three games here, so if anybody

01:33had a pulse and was ready to try to take advantage of situations, we'll see how good Houston

01:38is over the next couple weeks because that's a tough stretch.
