Overview

• Through two games, Jones is completing 71.4% of his passes for 588 yards at an NFL-best 9.3 yards per attempt with two passing touchdowns, three rushing scores and no interceptions.
• Indianapolis became the first NFL team to score on its first 10 possessions and has yet to punt, posting 6.5 yards per play and 31.0 points per game.
• Head coach Shane Steichen credited Jones’ preparation, progression through reads and communication with receivers and the offensive line, saying he’s been doing “a hell of a job.”
• Jones won the starting job over Anthony Richardson after an offseason competition, while teammates such as Zaire Franklin urged patience with Richardson’s development.
• The fast start has sparked local buzz around “Indiana Jones,” reports of low-key celebrations in town, and national discussion that sustained play could position him for a richer deal after his one-year, $14 million contract.
