Daniel Jones Leads 3-0 Colts as Saquon Barkley Applauds Resurgence

A one-year bet in Indianapolis has turned the ex-Giants quarterback into a turnover-free starter powering Shane Steichen’s offense.

Overview

  • Jones guided a 41-20 win over the Titans on Sunday, going 18-of-25 for 228 yards and a touchdown with 27 rushing yards and no interceptions.
  • Through three games, he has completed about 72% of his passes for 816 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions, sustaining an efficient, risk-averse start.
  • Barkley publicly praised his former Giants teammate, saying he is thrilled to see Jones excel and noting the work and competitiveness behind the turnaround.
  • Jones won the Colts’ starting job over Anthony Richardson in camp after signing a one-year deal following his 2024 Giants release and a stint on the Vikings’ practice squad.
  • Indianapolis has punted only once in three games and has scored on roughly 77% of its offensive possessions, underscoring the early fit in Steichen’s scheme; postgame, Jones lauded the Colts’ football IQ in remarks some read as a jab at New York.
