Quarterback Decision Holds Steady
The Indianapolis Colts will keep Daniel Jones under center for their Week 7 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Turnover Issues Stand Out
Jones has thrown nine turnovers this season, placing him second among quarterbacks behind only Justin Herbert. He also sits near the bottom of the league in key categories with a 30th-ranked QBR, 29th in completion rate and 29th in yards per attempt.
Recent Game Highlights Problems
In the loss to the Tennessee Titans, Jones threw two interceptions in the red zone that helped erase a 13-0 lead. Steichen noted the need for better ball security, especially when already in scoring position.
Season-Long Challenges Continue
Jones is completing just 59.6 percent of his passes this year after posting a career-high 68 percent last season. Ongoing recovery from a torn Achilles, along with issues at receiver and along the offensive line, have contributed to the decline.
