However, Steichen called for a pass play in the first place, with Goodson in the backfield. Richardson audibled out of Steichen's pass play, and into another pass play with Goodson going wide instead of lining up behind Richardson.


So it would be quite ironic if the head coach was benching the quarterback primarily for throwing the INT in that situation when the coach himself wanted to "stay aggressive" and throw a pass in the first place.

Stiechen may have indeed called a pass play. If he did, then I would bet my ass it was a screen pass. I'm curious as to how you know that Steichen called a pass play though?
