The Indianapolis Colts have named Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback for the season. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the decision last month, according to FOX59.
Jones and the Colts will face the Miami Dolphins in their season opener, a team with a top-10 defense in points allowed per game and strong performance on third downs and in the red zone. Colts.com reports that Jones has emphasized the importance of communication with the offensive line to handle the Dolphins’ defensive pressure.
Jones also highlighted the significance of starting the season strong, noting in Sports Illustrated that preparation during training camp has been extensive and the team is eager for the first game. This Week 1 matchup marks the first opportunity for Jones to lead the Colts in the season opener, a game the team has not won in over a decade.
