As expected, Colts running back Trent Richardson carried the load with Ahmad Bradshaw sidelined by a neck injury Week 4 at Jacksonville, handling 20 of the team's 29 rushing attempts. But the fact he didn't lead the team in rushing shows what kind of afternoon he had.
Once again, Richardson lacked the explosiveness needed for a big statistical output, picking up just 60 yards on his 20 carries. He had only one run of more than 10 yards -- a 12-yard burst that came with the Colts leading 34-3 midway through the fourth quarter. Richardson also had one catch for 6 yards.
Donald Brown actually led the Colts in rushing, picking up 65 yards on his three carries. The big blow was a 50-yard run to set up Richardson's 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
With the Colts looking to control the clock with a pounding running game, Richardson should get plenty of carries again Week 5 against the Seahawks, but he'll most likely continue to work with a change-of-pace option, be it Bradshaw or Brown.
