Overview
- The Colts lost 16-10 to the Vikings and fell to 2-5 on the season, extending their slide and leaving the offense struggling to score.
- Daniel Jones completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards with no touchdowns and one interception, and he threw the pick on the Colts’ final drive.
- Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters he will not bench Jones, saying he has “a ton of faith” and that the team’s game plan emphasized running the ball.
- Reporting and analysis say the staff is hesitant to turn to backup Anthony Richardson because he does not inspire clear confidence as an immediate replacement.
- The Colts sit second in a weak AFC South while the franchise faces broader questions about roster direction and leadership after recent front-office moves.
