Richardson could be back and also could change the tactical plan. Richardson and Flacco both really love to test defenses vertically, so the stress and anxiety on the Titans' safeties should not be actually different. However Richardson' dual-threat ability places much more anxiety on the Titans' linebackers to stay at home as well as edge guardians to have. The other side, certainly, is that Richardson has been actually intercepted six times to Flacco's absolutely no.
