Colts vs Texans: Witness Anthony Richardson's Absurd Touchdown Pass
Colts vs Texans: A Jaw-Dropping Moment
It’s impossible to set up Anthony Richardson’s 60-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce without simply saying: YOU NEED TO SEE THIS DANG THROW! Richardson slipped in his backpedal which caused two things to happen: It threw off his footwork to step into a throw, while also allowing defensive pressure to collapse his pocket and get in his face. When this happens normally you’ll see a quarterback take the sack, or attempt an ill-advised throw.
Defying Expectations
But this is Anthony Richardson, so he picked a third path: Launching the ball 60 yards through the air with no effort at all, using only a flick of his wrist to toss an absolute dime into Pierce’s bread basket. There’s simply nobody in the league with this kind of improvisational arm strength.
Incredible Arm Strength
Was this a vibes-based huck-and-catch that happened to work out? Absolutely. It’s still one of the most impressive throws you’ll ever see.
