Michael Baca’s takeaways:
Next Gen stat of the day: During his 18-yard touchdown run on the Colts’ opening drive, Anthony Richardson reached a top speed of 19.15 mph within 1903 yards of distance traveled. The average quarterback would have scored only 1.8% of the time, according to the NGS expected rushing yards model.
NFL Research: Anthony Richardson is the first Colt to have 2-plus rushing TDs in the first quarter of a game since Edgerrin James did so in Week 11 of the 1999 season.

Kevin Patra’s takeaways:
Next Gen stat of the game: The Bears’ defense generated 17 team pressures on Baker Mayfield (50% pressure rate), but did not record a sack, tied for the sixth-most pressures without a sack since the start of last season.
NFL Research: Baker Mayfield has done something Tom Brady never did in Tampa: start a season 2-0 and not throw an INT in either game. The last TB QB to do so was Shaun King in 2000.
