What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey lost twenty-six to twenty to Tennessee, a blocked punt went back for a touchdown, and coach Shane Steichen says Daniel Jones is his starting quarterback.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, I love Daniel, Steichen said, but they have to clean up the turnovers. Jones has four touchdowns and six interceptions, per Yardbarker.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's the other team's best passer.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut he's the starter! That's a vote of confidence, and the Colts did give him eighty-eight million dollars!

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey did. Two years, right after the torn Achilles.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd the backups are Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, so somebody's watching from the sideline with a clipboard and a lot of patience.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLater this half hour, which team plays across a border, and where do the fans sit?

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHonestly, Rex, I'd give Jones dual citizenship: starting quarterback in Indianapolis, leading passer in Tennessee.
