Colts vs. Jets in Week 11: What you need to know

• Injuries and inconsistencies have marred the comeback season of primary play-caller Anthony Richardson, and veteran backup Joe Flacco produced middling results as the starter over the past two weeks.
• The Colts, somehow still second place in the AFC South with a 4-6 record, have lost three games in a row.

State of play: This week, Colts head coach Shane Sieichen put an end to the QB discussion by declaring Richardson the starter this weekend against the Jets and for the rest of the 2024 season.

What they're saying: Sieichen said the need to do things at a "higher standard" was discussed with Richardson when he was benched going into week 9, and the coaching staff has seen him improve.

• "Is he a finished product? No, he's not. And it's my job to help him get there," Sieichen said Wednesday. "We never lost faith or belief in him or his abilities."

The intrigue: The latest NFL power rankings saw the Colts drop one spot to No. 22 out of 32 teams after their week 10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

• Analysts warn that the Colts are on the brink of letting the postseason slip away, and that one key to success may be getting running back Jonathan Taylor more involved in the offense.
• The Jets (3-7) fell three spots to No. 25 after getting routed by the Arizona Cardinals.

What's next: Kickoff is 1pm Sunday.
