Jones was terrible Sunday. His decision-making was poor, his arm looked weak and his game deteriorated quickly whenever Tennessee generated pressure.

Negative signalProjection

3 TDs, 4 INTs in 5 games; 5.8 yards per attempt; 73.6 rating; poor decision-making.

Jones was terrible in the loss to Tennessee with poor decision-making and weak arm strength; his performance deteriorated quickly under pressure. Entering the game, he had only 3 touchdown passes against 4 interceptions in 5 games while averaging 5.8 yards per attempt with a 73.6 passer rating. The source notes he showed some talent against Kansas City and Houston, but the overall trend has been ugly. While he played legitimately good football in 2025 before his Achilles injury, he is not the answer for the Colts' offense in 2026, and the coaching staff has not adjusted the offense to compensate for his struggles against pressure and the depleted receiving corps.
