After an embarrassing loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Indianapolis Colts are now 4-5... and unfortunately, their schedule is only getting harder. They are facing the Buffalo Bills at home for Week 10, and the Josh Allen-led Bills are one of the best teams in the league right now.
The Colts season started off rough to begin with, but their woes have only grown over the past week. Head coach Shane Steichen made the controversial decision to bench Anthony Richardson in favor of veteran QB Joe Flacco, something that was roundly criticized by analysts and fans alike. And the criticism only grew louder after Flacco's pitiful performance on Sunday, leading an offense that never got off the ground and made the calls to restore Richardson as starter near deafening.
Steichen, however, insists that Flacco will remain the starting QB through the season, seemingly continuing to believe that he gives the Colts their best chance at winning.
In the midst of all of this, the Colts have released their unofficial depth chart for Week 10. Will anything change between now and Sunday?
