Another week, another downfield pass from Anthony Richardson to Alec Pierce.
On the Indianapolis Colts' third possession of the game, they found themselves back in the red zone thanks to this 40-yard throw and catch from Richardson to Pierce.

Unfortunately, the drive didn't find the end zone, but instead another field goal. Overall, the Colts offense moved the ball well between the 20-yard lines, but their issues in the red zone are the first difference in this game.
This season with Richardson at the helm, Pierce has emerged as one of the most productive downfield targets in football.
Among all receivers entering Week 12, Pierce's 10 receptions on throws of at least 20 yards are the second-most in football. His 429 yards on those completions are also the second-most, according to PFF, and his 42.9 yards per catch ranks eighth.
On the Colts' second possession of the game, the duo nearly scored on another downfield throw, but the ball was just out of Pierce's reach.
