Why Indy Benched Anthony Richardson, Josh Allen’s Strengthened MVP Case, and the Best Kyler Murray We’ve Ever Seen

The Ringer NFL Show

Is Anthony Richardson’s decision to pull himself from the game on Sunday (an unusual move that left other players and analysts fuming) the real reason the Colts are starting Joe Flacco over the former first-round pick this week? Or is something else lurking beneath the surface that we don’t know about? Sheil Kapadia and Nora Princiotti debate in the first half of the show (00:00). Plus, the two discuss the impact of Baltimore trading for Carolina wide receiver Diontae Johnson (23:09) and why Stefon Diggs’s season-ending injury might … bolster Josh Allen’s MVP candidacy (29:32)?

Then, in his weekly QB Corner, Steven Ruiz reacts to the Richardson news before highlighting four quarterbacks who stood out to him (for better or worse) in Week 8 (36:11).
