Colts 2-0 With Daniel Jones Leading Quarterback Shift

The Indianapolis Colts have started the 2025 NFL season with a surprising 2-0 record, their best start since 2009, largely due to quarterback Daniel Jones's improved performance. After winning the starting job over Anthony Richardson, Jones has thrived with better offensive weapons and coaching, setting records such as leading the Colts to score on their first 10 drives of the season. Jones's strong showing, including a critical 316-yard, 2-touchdown performance in a 29-28 victory over the Denver Broncos, has solidified his position as the Colts' long-term starting quarterback. Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson's future with the team appears uncertain, as head coach Shane Steichen indicated Richardson is currently a backup and not a pressing concern for the quarterback role. The Colts benefited from a Broncos penalty to secure a game-winning field goal, but Jones’s calm under pressure was essential in the win. An unrelated injury update noted that Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones was placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games.
