When Anthony Richardson makes a good play, he takes a few moments to celebrate before moving on.

When he makes a bad play, he takes a few moments to process what went wrong before moving on.

It's the same case for wins and losses.

And while the Colts are 0-2 to start the 2024 NFL season, their quarterback is going to keep approaching every game the same way.

"Every week you're eager, you're ready to play, ready to ball out, ready to do whatever it takes to win," Richardson said Wednesday. "It's the same mindset, though, regardless of what happened last week. It's in the past, you know, we lost, forget about it, you just got to go out there and play and win."

The last two weeks have been a test for Richardson and the entire Colts locker room; the defense has struggled against the run and the offense has only been on the field for 20 or fewer minutes in each of the Colts' losses.

In the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Houston Texans, Richardson threw nine passes in 18 attempts for 212 yards and a had a 101.2 passer rating, with deep touchdown throws to wide receivers Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin. In Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, Richardson was 17-of-34 for 204 yards. He threw three interceptions and his passer rating was 41.8.

But now it's Week 3, and those games are in the past.

"The team knows I'll still be me regardless of what happens," Richardson said. "We have a big play, of course I'm gonna celebrate, but you know that's in the past, you've got to keep pushing. (And) vice versa, we have a bad play, I'm going to have to think about it and recover but it's still in the past. You've just got to make it work and go out there and ball out regardless of what happens."

Part of that bounce-back process comes from examining film and talking with his teammates after each play – good and bad. Richardson said a year ago, he was still trying to find his place within the team and adjust to being an NFL quarterback. Now, he's much more comfortable in his role, and it shows.

"A lot of times, he's talking to his teammates (on the sidelines)," offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter told media Tuesday. "He's communicating with them. They're talking about what they like or don't like. Sometimes, Anthony sort of speaks his mind with what he sees out of a route or out of anything that goes on out there, which I think is really healthy for an offensive football team to have those discussions on the sideline. When the quarterback is comfortable having that discussion and making those – sort of having those talks on the sideline, it's really good for everybody."

Richardson and Cooter have both pointed to communication as a point of emphasis going forward; wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. echoed their sentiments Wednesday, saying miscues and other small mistakes can add up quickly and impact a game. It's a similar case for rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell; he and Richardson – two of the youngest players on the team – are still working to consistently get on the same page.

But one thing no one has to communicate is their desire to win.

"Nobody in this building wants to lose," Richardson said. "We're tired of losing, honestly. So we're just trying to find a way to dig down deep and just win."
