STACKED’s take
Jones' 9 INTs in 8 games mark career-worst pace despite coach's commitment to starting him.
Daniel Jones has struggled significantly in his first season with the Colts, throwing for 1,542 yards with 5 touchdowns and 9 interceptions through 8 games on a 2-6 team. His 9 interceptions are already the third-most in a season in his career and the most since 2020 with the Giants; by comparison, he threw only 8 interceptions in 13 games last season before his Achilles injury. Despite the poor performance, head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Jones will remain the starter, saying he 'does feel that Daniel gives us the best chance to win right now,' though Steichen acknowledged 'there are some things that we need to help him with.' The Colts have lost four straight games, including a 42-7 blowout loss to Jacksonville where Jones was benched mid-game after completing 19-of-28 passes for 144 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs.
