Steichen says Colts haven’t considered replacing Daniel Jones

Colts coach Shane Steichen told the team’s website on Oct. 25, 2026, he has not been weighing a switch at quarterback and said he has “a ton of faith” in starter Daniel Jones, the Colts’ postgame comments say.

Steichen’s remarks followed Indianapolis’ 16–10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. NBC Sports reports Jones was 13-of-22 for 108 yards and threw a late interception; Colts.com quotes Steichen as saying the end‑of‑game interception “happens in football.” NBC Sports also notes Vikings safety Harrison Smith intercepted the pass intended for tight end Will Mallory with 1:08 remaining, that Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard remain listed as Jones’ backups, and that Jones signed a two‑year, $88 million extension while recovering from a torn right Achilles. NBC Sports reports Jones has four touchdown passes and seven interceptions this season.
