Colts Lead NFL in Scoring at 3-0 as Daniel Jones’ Turnover-Free Start Makes Super Bowl Era History

A near punt-free opening stretch and Jonathan Taylor’s league-leading production highlight Shane Steichen’s rapid offensive turnaround in Indianapolis.

Overview

  • Indianapolis has 103 points through three games to top the league, its best three-week total since the franchise moved to the city and its first 3-0 start since 2009.
  • Per the NFL, Daniel Jones is the first player in the Super Bowl era to open a season with at least three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns and zero turnovers.
  • The Colts have punted only once in three games, the fewest by any team over that span since at least 1940, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL with 431 scrimmage yards and his 338 rushing yards mark the Colts’ highest three-week rushing total since 1970.
  • Jones’ rise drew a national spotlight with a ManningCast appearance on Monday, and the Colts’ next test comes in Week 4 at the Los Angeles Rams.
