Overview

• Indianapolis is 4-1 after a 40-6 win over the Raiders, with Jones going 20-of-29 for 212 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers as Jonathan Taylor scored three times.
• Through five games, Jones has six touchdown passes, two interceptions and just four sacks, with Newsweek citing 1,290 passing yards plus three rushing scores.
• ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports insiders are buying Jones’ start but note concern over his deep ball, while Alec Pierce’s concussion absence could stress turnover avoidance.
• Analysts Fowler and Dan Graziano say the Colts could explore an in‑season adjustment or set a path to a longer‑term deal, noting NFL rules make immediate changes complicated.
• Pro Football Focus ranks the Colts’ offensive line second entering Week 6, and a visit from an effective Cardinals run defense could test Jones if Taylor’s lanes tighten.
