Daniel Jones has nine interceptions through eight games.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 3m1 min read

What happened: The Dallas Cowboys enter Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts as the only secondary in the NFL without an interception through eight weeks of the 2026 season. Colts quarterback Daniel Jones carries a league-low 68.7 passer rating into the matchup.

Why it matters: Indianapolis sits at 2-6 following four straight losses, though the team told inquiring clubs that they plan to keep Daniel Jones as starter. Dallas seeks a defensive reset after allowing 33 points in a Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

By the numbers: Through eight games in 2026, Jones has completed 162 of 268 passes for 1,542 yards with five touchdowns and nine interceptions. The Cowboys remain the only NFL defense without a takeaway via interception.

What to watch: Kickoff between Dallas and Indianapolis is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
