Saquon Barkley Backs Daniel Jones’ Resurgence With 2-0 Colts

The Eagles star says Jones’ work ethic is finally showing after he won Indianapolis’ starting job.

Overview

  • Saquon Barkley publicly praised former Giants teammate Daniel Jones, saying he wants no one outside the Eagles to perform at a higher level.
  • Through two games, Jones has completed 71.4% of his passes for 588 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he has added three rushing scores for a 111.1 passer rating.
  • Jones signed with Indianapolis in the offseason, won a camp competition over Anthony Richardson, and has operated aggressively in Shane Steichen’s offense.
  • Indianapolis is 2-0 with wins over the Dolphins and Broncos, and the Colts visit the Titans on Sunday seeking a third straight victory.
  • Barkley’s support comes as analysts note the Colts’ outlook improves if Jones sustains his efficient, turnover-free play, though it remains early in the season.
