**Joe Flacco Leads Colts to Victory After Anthony Richardson's Injury**

In a surprising turn of events, Joe Flacco took to the field and led the Indianapolis Colts to a stunning 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Flacco came in as a replacement for Anthony Richardson, who was forced out of the game due to a hip injury. Demonstrating his veteran prowess, Flacco completed 16 of 26 passes, accumulated 168 yards, and threw two touchdowns without any interceptions.

Before his exit, Richardson had been having a solid game. He had successfully completed three out of four passes for 71 yards and had also made three runs, adding 24 yards on the ground. However, it was Flacco’s performance that truly captured the spotlight, reiterating his capability to secure wins in the NFL, much like his display last season with the Browns.

On the Steelers' side, quarterback Justin Fields showcased his talents with a commendable performance. Fields completed 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards, throwing one touchdown without any interceptions. He also made a significant impact with his legs, rushing 10 times for 55 yards and scoring two touchdowns. However, despite his efforts, the comeback attempt in the fourth quarter fell short due to a late fourth-down incompletion.

Fields has undoubtedly impressed enough to claim the starting job even when Russell Wilson returns to full health. Yet, today’s game marks his first loss as a Steeler. Despite this setback, the Steelers maintain a strong record of 3-1 and remain in good standing within the AFC.

The Colts, now at 2-2, seem poised to make their presence felt in the AFC. Whether led by Richardson or Flacco, they have shown that they are a team not to be underestimated.
