Daniel Jones ... in the MVP mix? Kirk Cousins ... to the Bengals? Sizing up five overreactions to Week 3
"Quarterback Daniel Jones looked good in the Colts' season-opening win. But their Week 1 opponent was the Dolphins, and consensus seems to be that they're not very good. So we noticed, but we tried not to overreact. The Week 2 victory against the Broncos, who are supposed to have a great defense, seemed a little more worthy of our attention. But Denver still had the game won if not for a dumb penalty that gave the Colts a second chance at the game-winning field goal."
"Through the first two weeks, Jones -- the reclamation-project quarterback the Colts signed to compete with former No. 4 overall draft pick Anthony Richardson Sr. for their starting quarterback job -- ranked second in the NFL in passing yards, first in yards per attempt, sixth in Total QBR and had three rushing touchdowns on top of all that. He kept it rolling, completing a cool 18 of 25 passes for 228 yards in a more Jonathan Taylor-centric lopsided victory over the Titans."
Daniel Jones has led the Colts to three straight wins, culminating in a 41-20 victory over the Titans. He ranked second in the NFL in passing yards, first in yards per attempt, sixth in Total QBR and had three rushing touchdowns through the first two weeks. Jones completed 18 of 25 passes for 228 yards in a Jonathan Taylor-centric, lopsided win over Tennessee. Week 1 came against the Dolphins, and Week 2 against the Broncos featured a pivotal penalty that extended the Colts' opportunity. Jones' early performance has raised his profile as an MVP contender.
