Colts’ Shane Steichen not considering QB change from Daniel Jones

Colts coach Shane Steichen said he has not considered making a quarterback change and that he has “a ton of faith” in Daniel Jones, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Our Take: The results haven't matched that faith lately. Indianapolis was blanked in the second half of Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings and averaged just 3.7 yards per play, and at 2-5 the Colts sit 26th in our Week 8 NFL Power Rankings.
