The Colts’ quarterback battle between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones is going to come down to one thing: consistency. That’s according to head coach Shane Steichen, who said Saturday the deciding factor will boil down to which of the former first-round picks can produce a stable body of work in both play and decision-making.
