Distressingly, this has become something of a standard statline for Jones, who is now sitting on a 5:9 TD:INT ratio through eight starts. That being said, Jones would have piled up more garbage time yards had he not been benched for most of the fourth quarter with the Colts getting annihilated. Jones’ first interception was a 92-yard pick-six, though the “interception” was really more of a Tyler Warren drop. The same was not true of Jones’ second pick, which was simply an awful third quarter throw where he never saw LB Branson Combs in coverage. There is nothing left to see of Jones under center for the tanking/rebuilding Colts, but the problem is, the same is true of backups Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard. This is just a team that’s going to have to play out the string with things getting worse before they get better. That does not mean Jones will keep his starting job. It’s likely only a matter of time before Richardson gets one final look under center. That could come as early as Week 9 against the Cowboys.
