Colts Fall to 2-4 as Daniel Jones Struggles in Loss to Titans

Daniel Jones completed 22 of 42 passes with one touchdown and two interceptions during the Colts' Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

The Indianapolis Colts fell to a 2-4 record following a Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans, a team that had not won a game prior to Sunday. Quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 of 42 passes for one touchdown and two interceptions, finishing the contest with a 20.4 QBR. This performance marked the fourth time in six games that Jones posted a QBR under 35. The Colts signed Jones to a two-year, $88 million contract extension this offseason, which included nearly $50 million in guaranteed salary.

Injuries have further impacted the Indianapolis roster, as wide receiver Alec Pierce is currently on injured reserve and tight end Tyler Warren missed Sunday's game after being hurt in practice. Additionally, the team played without offensive contributions from Jonathan Taylor, who is struggling this season. ESPN reporter Dan Graziano labeled the Daniel Jones extension as the biggest mistake of the offseason, noting that the Colts used a transition tag to retain the quarterback following his previous season-ending Achilles tear.

In other Week 6 action, the New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets 26-19 despite a difficult debut for trade acquisition A.J. Brown. Brown recorded three catches for 27 yards on 10 targets and set a career high with three drops. The Chicago Bears improved to 4-2 with a 31-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons as Caleb Williams returned from injury to complete 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Texans in London, where rookie Brian Thomas Jr. saw zero catches and played no offensive snaps in the second half.
