Stampede Blue on Daniel Jones
From the article
Jones had three turnovers on the day. Two of them were unacceptable... Jones changed the play and had Jonathan Taylor open in the flat. Instead of getting it to him in space, of which there was plenty, Jones held the ball and was stripped.
STACKED’s take
Jones's three turnovers, especially late-game strip sack, underscore critical ball security issues.
Jones had three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception) against Houston's defense on Sunday. The first fumble came under pressure from Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter, which is forgivable; however, the interception on third down in the third quarter—when he chucked the ball into the air with a defender barreling toward him—kept the Texans needing only a touchdown to take the lead. Most critically, late in the fourth quarter with the Colts up six and driving, Jones changed the play with Jonathan Taylor open in the flat but held the ball instead of getting it to Taylor in space, resulting in a strip sack that allowed the Texans to score the go-ahead touchdown. The source emphasizes that while Spencer Shrader's game-winning 53-yard field goal salvaged the win, there was no guarantee the Colts would get into field goal range, and Jones must take better care of the ball if the Colts want to win.
