Anthony Richardson briefly exited the Indianapolis Colts’ 23\u201320 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday for an odd reason.<\/p>\n

With the Colts trailing by 10 in the third quarter, Richardson was sacked at the line of scrimmage to force a third-and-goal from Houston’s 23-yard line. But instead of either taking a heave to the end zone or running a conservative play on third down to set up a field goal, Richardson walked over to the sidelines\u2014but he was not hurt.<\/p>\n

“Tired, I ain’t gonna lie,” Richardson said. “That was a lot of running right there that I did. So, I just told [Colts coach] Shane [Steichen] I needed a break right there.”<\/p>\n
