The Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback decision could make or break the entertainment level of the team.
Colts head coach Shane Steichen believes he'll have better luck with Daniel Jones after failing to develop Anthony Richardson.
“Obviously, I was excited. Excited for the opportunity. As a competitor you want to be on the field, and that’s why you work,” Jones said. “I think we have a good football team.” Jones said he thinks he got the job because he showed Colts coach Shane Steichen that he’s consistent in his leadership of the offense.
