The post Things going so well for Colts vs. Raiders that Anthony Richardson caught his own pass appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Anthony Richardson is making the most of his latest opportunity during the Indianapolis Colts ' Week 5 blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders . He might not be working out as a quarterback, but Richardson is doing his best to showcase his skill set as a receiver.

With the Colts up by 34 against the Raiders, Daniel Jones took a seat early in the fourth quarter to allow Richardson to gain some reps. On one of his first plays of the game, Richardson's pass was batted up into the air , but he followed it to get the "catch" and pick up a first down.
Richardson's pass to himself hilariously ended up being his only completion of the day. The 23-year-old ended the game going 1-for-2 with nine passing yards and nine receiving yards, a stat line that is unlikely to be replicated any time soon.
In the most Anthony Richardson stat imaginable, the pass was also his first completion of the year. He previously entered late in the Colts' Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans , but did not attempt a pass.

Anthony Richardson's self-pass was a moment of comedic relief for Colts fans, but it only added to the frustration of Raiders supporters. Las Vegas ' offense produced nothing meaningful all game in the 40-6 rout.
The game was another disaster from Geno Smith , who threw two interceptions and took four sacks. Smith now has 345 passing yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions in his last two games.
At the same time, it was another efficient performance from Daniel Jones, who went 20-for-29 for 213 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Jones played his second consecutive game without leading deep threat Alec Pierce , but was not asked to do much with Smith and the Raiders repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot.

Jonathan Taylor was the Colts' biggest star of the night, scoring three of the team's six touchdowns. Taylor only managed 66 rushing yards on his 17 carries, but he scored three touchdowns in the same game for the second time in the last three weeks.
