Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones entered Week 8 with questions already swirling about his job security. While head coach Shane Steichen offered a vote of confidence for his quarterback prior to Sunday’s game, it didn’t take long for Jones to make his coach regret that decision.
After throwing two interceptions in a blowout, Jones was benched in favor of Anthony Richardson against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Colts made the switch with a little over 11 minutes to play in the contest. At the time he was replaced, Jones was 19 for 28, with 144 yards and a touchdown. He also threw two interceptions in the contest, one of which was returned for a Jaguars’ score.
Despite that first interception, Jones opened the third quarter as the Colts’ starter. He made it through the third quarter, even tossing a touchdown to prevent a shutout. But on his first drive of the fourth quarter, Jones was picked off by Branson Combs, ending the quarterback’s day.
