Colts coach Shane Steichen was asked about replacing QB Daniel Jones; here's what he said

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones turned in another poor performance in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings , completing 13-of-22 passes for 108 yards with no touchdowns and a game-ending interception. He also took four sacks.

But Colts coach Shane Steichen said he has no plans to replace Jones as the starter.

"No, I haven't thought about a quarterback change," he said in his postgame news conference. "I have a ton of faith in Daniel. Our game plan was to go in and run the football and obviously, at the end, he had the interception; that happens."

Steichen acknowledged the pass game "wasn't where we wanted it." Backup quarterback Anthony Richardson , who was charged with marijuana possession on Monday, Oct. 19, has not thrown a pass in a regular-season game since suffering a serious, freak eye injury prior to a game on Oct. 12, 2025.
