Daniel Jones’ two-series job with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 of the preseason produced a clean, mid-range stat line: 7-of-11 for 101 yards. The opening drive featured a design that looked sharp with Mo Alie-Cox sprinting out for a 19-yard gain, but a tipped Pittman reception, a snapped fumble, and a missed open Tyler Warren stalled the march. Jones then settled into a more connected rhythm on the second drive, with the offensive line giving him time and the offense delivering two meaningful gains of 20+ yards on back-to-back throws. A later field goal capped the march. Jones’ day concluded with the 101 yards on 11 attempts, a step forward from his Week 1 numbers and a hint that the Colts are still evaluating rhythm and timing in this new system.

Familiar names in the sequence included Pittman Jr. and Mo Alie-Cox, who helped bolster the early connection, while the sequence fluctuations highlighted the roster’s ongoing cohesion under Shane Steichen. The performance underscored not only Jones’ steady progression into the Colts’ tempo but also the Colts’ overall emphasis on improved protection and play-action efficiency. For fantasy managers, the outing offers a data point on Jones’s fit within an offense likely to emphasize ball-control and timely passes, rather than big-volume, high-risk drops. The Colts would like to see more consistency in the red zone, but the second drive’s execution suggests a path toward sharper game-scripts when Week 3 action arrives.
