Key Moments
The game took a significant turn late in the first quarter when Colts quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a torn right Achilles tendon. The injury occurred without contact as Jones dropped to the ground after an incomplete pass. He was visibly emotional as he exited the field and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.

The Jaguars’ defense also made impactful plays, including a safety by defensive end Josh Hines-Allen and an interception by linebacker Devin Lloyd.
Colts’ Challenges
Rookie quarterback Riley Leonard stepped in for Jones, completing 18 of 29 passes for 145 yards and an interception. Leonard also added a rushing touchdown late in the game. Despite his efforts, the Colts struggled to maintain offensive momentum. Running back Jonathan Taylor led the ground attack with 74 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. The Colts’ defense faced challenges against the Jaguars’ offense, contributing to their third consecutive loss and fourth in their last five games.
Injury Report
In addition to Jones’ Achilles injury, the Colts faced further setbacks with right tackle Braden Smith (concussion) and cornerback Chris Lammons (foot) being ruled out during the game. Wide receiver Anthony Gould (foot) and defensive end JT Tuimoloau (concussion) also left the game due to injuries.
