Daniel Jones took a notable tumble in NFL.com’s latest quarterback rankings following the Indianapolis Colts' first win of the season last week.
NFL.com’s Nick Shook ranked Jones No. 22 among the league’s quarterbacks entering Week 4, a four-spot drop from his No. 18 position last week. The Colts veteran sits behind Bryce Young and Justin Herbert and one spot ahead of Michael Penix Jr.
Shook pointed directly to Jones’ ball-security problems against the Houston Texans, writing that the quarterback “accounted for three turnovers and nearly gave the game against the Texans away with a fumble.”
Jones completed 24 of 36 passes for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Indianapolis’ 19-17 win. He also lost two fumbles, giving him five turnovers
through three games this season.
Jones did help Indianapolis respond after Houston took a 17-16 lead with 1:48 remaining. The Colts moved into position for Spencer Shrader’s 53-yard game-winning field goal with 16 seconds left.
Jones has completed 66.3% of his passes for 611 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions through three starts.
He will have a shot to reverse his slide when the Colts face the Washington Commanders in London on Sunday.
