The Daniel Jones effect is difficult to quantify

1) l Daniel Jones getting injured.


2) l The Kansas City Chiefs.


In my rat's ass of an opinion, the Chiefs are the biggest obstacle to the Colts making a deep playoff run and/or the Colts advancing to the Super Bowl. Presuming that the Colts do make the playoffs, I hope that they would not have to play the Chiefs until the AFC Championship game (if at all.)

The post-Luck Colts seem to have Mahomes's number. Even the 2022 team beat them.

I've pointed out before that not only did the 2022 Colts beat Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs with a horrible offensive line, but the 2019 Colts also beat Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.

While I find that rather interesting, I put no weight whatsoever on either of those wins ...... fluke wins are not uncommon in the NFL, and I sure as hell won't be counting on taking anything away from those games should the Colts meet the Chiefs in the post-season.


If the Colts do play and beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, it will have absolutely nothing to do with those 2 victories in 2019 and 2022.

Jones fractured his left fibula while playing against the Chiefs, and has not been as effective since, starting with the 4th quarter of that game in western Missouri ...... I said that I was afraid of the Chiefs, but not for that reason (I was afraid of them primarily because of the Patrick Mahomes factor.)


Today against the Jaguars, Jones injured his right Achilles tendon, and is probably out for the season ...... he may have continued to play in sub-par fashion if he had continued playing on the fractured left fibula, anyway.


Now, it's going to be up to Riley Leonard and the rest of the team to try to salvage this quickly sinking 2025 season.
