Summary
Daniel Jones will remain Indianapolis' starting quarterback, Shane Steichen said after Sunday’s loss to the previously winless Titans, despite Jones throwing two interceptions.
Those picks pushed Jones to six interceptions in six games, with at least one in each of the past four, as Steichen said both the quarterback and coaching staff must perform better.
The 2-4 start has intensified pressure on Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard after a fourth straight season without a playoff berth already looms and home fans ended the game chanting for Ballard’s firing.
Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon had already warned after the 2025 collapse that urgency around Steichen and Ballard was at its highest, leaving their futures in doubt unless results turn quickly.
