There’s no quarterback change coming in Indianapolis. Not this week, at least.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters on Monday that Joe Flacco will remain the starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

Flacco has started two consecutive games since the Colts benched struggling second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. He turned the ball over twice and failed to throw a touchdown in a 21-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 9. On Sunday, Flacco threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in a 30-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

His struggles have prompted calls from some to switch back to Richardson at quarterback. For now, Flacco will remain the starter.
