Daniel Jones Leads Colts To Best Start Since 2009 Amid ManningCast Spotlight

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has made a strong start to his tenure with the team, going 3-0 and leading the NFL in scoring early this season. During a recent appearance on ESPN's ManningCast with Peyton and Eli Manning, Eli humorously suggested Jones was already the greatest Colts quarterback in history, a jab that made Jones visibly uncomfortable given Peyton Manning's legendary status with the franchise. Jones, who previously played for the New York Giants and was once teammates with Eli Manning, also revealed on the show that Eli cheated during a viral flip cup game they played in 2019, a moment that amused both Manning brothers. Despite the playful ribbing, Jones is aware of Peyton's accomplishments, including four MVP awards and a Super Bowl win with the Colts, but remains focused on his own progress. Social media reactions highlighted fans' amusement and surprise over Jones' apparent unfamiliarity with Peyton's Colts legacy. Overall, the exchange highlighted the camaraderie and lighthearted teasing among the players, while spotlighting Jones' promising start in Indianapolis.
