The Indianapolis Colts will keep Daniel Jones as their starter after a 38‑17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, coach Shane Steichen announced on X.

He also struggled with a late fumble and a sack that kept Joey Slye out of field‑goal range. Despite the loss, Ward appeared more confident under Brian Daboll’s scheme. With a Week 9 bye ahead, the Titans aim to build on this performance before facing Jacksonville in Week 10.
The Indianapolis Colts suffer a crushing 42-7 defeat at Jacksonville on Nov. 1, extending their winless run in Duval County since 2014. Rookie linebacker CJ Allen shines in his first start with a team‑high 10 tackles, a sack and a QB hit, offering a bright spot for the rebuilding squad.

Veteran defenders, including safety Cam Bynum, finish the game with negligible impact, highlighting deeper issues on Indianapolis’s defense.
NFL insider Jason La Canfora hints that the Pittsburgh Steelers, sitting 6‑2 before their bye, may target New York Jets receiver Garrett Wilson in a bold trade move.

The Steelers are also linked to Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts’ Josh Downs, who both seek fresh starts. The Colts want a third‑round pick for Downs, while the Jaguars reportedly ask for a Day 2 draft slot. With the trade deadline Dec. 10 looming, the Steelers are in the mix for a top receiver.

However, Tennessee’s pass defense ranks 31st, so Ward must stay consistent to keep the offense alive.
