Colts sticking with QB Daniel Jones after latest turnover-filled loss to Titans: 'He's got to play better'

The Indianapolis Colts will keep Daniel Jones at quarterback despite another shaky outing, as head coach Shane Steichen reaffirmed his starting role after Sunday’s 26–20 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Jones struggled in the loss, completing just 22 of 42 passes for 269 yards and two interceptions—including a costly red-zone turnover—while the Colts’ offense failed to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities, settling for field goals instead of touchdowns.

The Titans, who entered the game winless, capitalized on the turnovers and a late fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Cam Ward to Carnell Tate to secure their first victory of the season under new head coach Robert Slaeh. The Colts, now 2–4 on the year, saw their six-game winning streak over Tennessee snapped, while Steichen acknowledged broader team issues beyond Jones, including turnover management and fourth-down execution, despite the offense dominating early with 232 yards in the first half while holding the Titans to just 64 yards.

With Jones on pace for five interceptions and only three touchdowns this season, Steichen emphasized the need for improvement across the board, though the quarterback remains the starter for now, leaving Anthony Richardson as the primary backup despite his limited playing time due to injuries.
