Daniel Jones completed 22-of-31 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Colts’ 33-30, Week 2 loss to the Chiefs, adding 10 yards on three carries.

Jones lost one of his top receivers at the end of the first quarter when Alec Pierce departed with a heel injury, largely unable to attack downfield following his departure. That would all change on the team’s lone possession of overtime when Jones hit Laquon Treadwell for a 48-yard shot on the first play following a Chiefs field goal, but the team would be unable to punch their ticket to a win while settling for a field goal of their own. They would not see the ball again and would ultimately fall to 0-2 on a chip-shot Harrison Butker field goal as time in overtime expired. The team could be forced to play possession ball moving forward considering the short-area nature of the remaining pass-catchers, pending the status of Pierce. That spells trouble against the vaunted Houston defense in Week 3, where Jones will be a fringe QB2 while potentially down his field stretching option.
