Everyone knows the Anthony Richardson experience is going to be exciting, and if his first touchdown throw of the season didn’t excite you, you might want to check your pulse.

Richardson, the second-year quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, has one of the best shooting skills in the league. And he showed it in the first quarter of the season opener. Richardson stumbled in the pocket, then threw a deep pass to Alec Pierce on his back foot from his own 32-yard line. Very deep.

Pierce caught the pass at about the Houston Texans’ 2-yard line. In the air, that’s about 66 yards and Richardson had no chance to get into position. Officially, it was a 60-yard touchdown.

Wow.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough for victory. Indianapolis lost to the Houston Texans 29-27, despite a comeback attempt and a strong performance from the 22-year-old Colts quarterback. Richardson threw several beautiful long throws, including a 54-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and a late 57-yard pass that set up another touchdown and brought the Colts within two points.

But it wasn’t all sunshine and roses for Richardson, who made several mistakes throughout the game, including a bad throw on a fourth-and-one pass early on. A missed two-point conversion in the third quarter ended up being the difference in the game. Houston quarterback CJ Stroud, for his part, played a solid game, throwing for 234 yards and two touchdowns.

In the end, the Texans were able to outlast the Colts. But either way, we still have the highlights.
