Colts head coach Shane Steichen is also not deterred by Jones's struggles with the Giants, including his 24-44-1 record in New York. Instead, Steichen pointed to Jones's 2022 season as reason to believe in his quarterback's potential.

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.
