draft division Rivals the potential for a nice Duckworth versus Graham beef is there stoud looking to build off one of the most impressive rookie Seasons we've ever seen from a QB has him rock and roll touchdown Houston Richardson coming back off his injury shorten season he flashed plenty of potential before he hit the Shelf though Richardson throws it up field caught by Andrew Ogle tree he's

Wednesday we giving our ass whooping every day of the week ground game probably takes Center Stage a little more when the Colts have the ball Texans have to worry about Richardson taking off he's one of those types and running right side is Anthony Richardson fake the reverse turns the corner he's in touchdown plus there's JT Colts fans hoping Jonathan Taylor's ready to dominate again after after an injury plagued year he doesn't need an Uber to get to the game either Jonathan Taylor gets so tight to Quinton Nelson and doesn't give Deon white any surface area to make that tackle I mean he can
