The celebration that Anthony Richardson performed gave Eagles supporters a taste of their own medicine.
During the preseason, Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson does not seem to have any issues with his confidence.
In the game against the Eagles that took place on Thursday, the starting quarterback for Indianapolis drove his team to a score after covering 52 yards on the club’s second possession of the game.
Richardson celebrated the touchdown by racing into the end zone and doing the “Fly Eagles Fly” celebration directly in front of Philadelphia supporters who were present at Lincoln Financial Field. This occurred despite the fact that the touchdown was scored by running back Deon Jackson on a run of three yards.
following completing both of his throw attempts on the touchdown drive, which tied the game at 7–7, Richardson brazenly raised his arms as if he were flapping a pair of wings following the drive. This brought the score to a tie. As the Colts advanced the ball down the field, he also made a successful scramble for a gain of six yards.
Richardson, who was selected as the fourth overall choice in the NFL draft in 2023, was handed the starting quarterback job by the Colts earlier this month. He has played some part in two of the three preseason games that Indianapolis has played.
The certain first-year player is likely going to make his first appearance in a regular-season game for the NFL in Week 1, when the Colts host the Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium.
