Colts HC Shane Steichen Sends Clear Message on Daniel Jones After Titans Loss
Colts head coach Shane Steichen makes it clear that Daniel Jones is still his starting QB following their loss to the Titans.
The Indianapolis Colts experienced another turnover-plagued loss on Sunday to the Tennessee Titans, but head coach Shane Steichen believes quarterback Daniel Jones is safe in his starting position. Despite outgaining the Titans by over 200 yards, the Colts' mistakes, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and two interceptions by Jones, led to their defeat.
Jones has accounted for nine turnovers in the first six games of the season. Colts fans have questioned whether Jones should be replaced by second-string quarterback Anthony Richardson. However, Steichen firmly stated that Jones will remain the team's starting quarterback. The Colts had extended Jones on a two-year, $88 million contract following a strong 2025 season, but his performance hasn't met expectations.
This raises pressure on Steichen to make a move or face potential job loss alongside Jones. Indianapolis will travel to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.
