Daniel Jones de Colts shut up critics with the best start of the NFL race in the first game with Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Colts will be one of the main stories that come NFL WEEK 1, while jumpeding to a surprising 20-0 advantage in part time over tua tagovailo and the Miami Dolphins. One reason for this was the game of the new field marshal Daniel Jones, who is making his first start for Colts after winning the preseason competition against Anthony Richardson.
In fact, Jones is going to one of the best beginnings of his entire NFL Professional career. According to CBS Sports Research, on Sunday he marked the first time that a team led by Daniel Jones scored in each impulse of the first half in its 70 beginnings of the NFL. Jones completed 17 of 22 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown in the first two quarters. Those 197 air yards are most Jones has launched in a first half.

The Colts completely dominated the Dolphins in the first half, accumulating 255 yards of total offensive compared to the 43 total yards in Miami. Indy recorded 17 attempts compared to Miami’s first three attempts in the first half and won the billing battle, 2-0. The 20 -point advantage marked the largest part -time advantage of the Colts in a first game of the season since 1994, while this is the first time that the Dolphins were excluded in the first half in a first game of the season since 2009.
The former general selection number 6 of the New York giants was 24-44-1 as a starter in its first six seasons of the NFL. Jones gathered only a winning campaign in 2022, where the giants finished 9-6-1, and then bother Minnesota’s Vikings in the Commodines Round. It was enough for the giants to reward Jones with an extension of four years and $ 160 million that next season, but things would go to the south from there. Jones would win only three more games for giants in the next two seasons, which led to its launch in the middle of last year.
The way in which the colts began week 1 was certainly surprising, but it is fair to say that Jones has rewarded Shane Steichen’s confidence in him from the beginning.
