What happened: The Indianapolis Colts are retaining Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback following a 42-7 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Shane Steichen affirmed his commitment to Jones under center as the team evaluates its offensive direction.

Why it matters: Indianapolis faces mounting offensive questions after failing to generate sustained scoring against division opponents. Committing to Jones preserves continuity under center while the franchise navigates roster decisions ahead of the league trade deadline.

What to watch: The Colts will prepare Jones for their upcoming matchup as the coaching staff looks to correct execution issues.
