The Story in 60 Seconds

Horseshoe Heroes writer Lee Vowell argues that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen's willingness to re-evaluate the roster comes too late to save his job. Following a 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Steichen suggested all positions are being evaluated. However, Vowell criticizes Steichen for sticking too long with struggling quarterback Daniel Jones instead of turning to Anthony Richardson.

Vowell highlights that Jones has thrown five touchdowns and nine interceptions with a 68.7 passer rating through eight games. The writer contends that Steichen has struggled against winning teams, with a 7-26 record against opponents at .500 or better, and asserts that a prospective Week 9 quarterback switch against the Dallas Cowboys will not fix the Colts' underlying issues.
