Colts Lose 27-20; Mac Jones Starts 49ers Win

The Indianapolis Colts lost 27-20 to the Pittsburgh Steelers after quarterback Daniel Jones committed five turnovers (three interceptions, two fumbles), with Pittsburgh converting those miscues into 24 points; Indianapolis fell to 7-2 while Pittsburgh moved to 5-3. Jones — who had just three turnovers on the season before Sunday — blamed himself, saying several mistakes came on blind-side sack fumbles and tipped/intercepted throws, and the Colts’ normally high-powered offense was held to its lowest output of the year amid a subdued, urgent locker-room tone as the team prepares for Week 10. Separately, Mac Jones started for an injured Brock Purdy and led the San Francisco 49ers to a 34-24 win over the New York Giants, completing 19 of 24 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. Mac Jones voluntarily subbed out late so rookie Adrian Martinez could record his first NFL snap, and coaches said Purdy is being eased back because turf-toe will linger.
