The Indianapolis Colts' struggles with turnovers plagued them again in their Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. However, it doesn't seem like quarterback Daniel Jones is in any jeopardy of losing his job, according to Colts head coach Shane Steichen.
Despite out-gaining the Titans by over 200 total yards on Sunday, the Colts ultimately made too many mistakes to come away with a win. This includes a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown by the Titans, as well as two interceptions from Jones deep in Titans territory.
Through the first six games of the season for the Colts, Jones has personally accounted for nine total turnovers. As a result, many Colts fans have been questioning whether it may be time for Jones to be removed from his starting duties in favor of second string quarterback Anthony Richardson.

However, Shane Steichen doesn't seem to agree with most of his team's fanbase. Following Sunday's game, Shane Steichen was directly asked whether Jones is still the team's starting quarterback; a question that was answered with a resounding yes.
"Yes, he is still our starting quarterback," said Steichen.

The Colts of course paid Jones like a franchise quarterback this past offseason, extending him on a two-year, $88 million contract following his impressive campaign for much of the 2025 season.
That being said, Jones has certainly not lived up to that contract thus far. And it sure seems like pressure is quickly building for Steichen to potentially make a big change, or risk potentially losing his own job while going down with the ship Jones is currently steering in the process.
