"Quarterback Daniel Jones dropped back, hung in the pocket despite the approaching pass rush, then delivered a strike to receiver Alec Pierce on a stop route. It didn't matter that cornerback Benjamin St-Juste was practically on Pierce's back. Jones confidently stepped into the throw and delivered it with perfect location, throwing it away from the defender where only Pierce could catch it."
"This is not the sort of play that game managers make. This was bold and aggressive, the kind of throw that takes guts. And it was a prime example of how Jones' 2025 performance is different than much of his play in previous seasons. "It was a one-on-one on the outside there and Daniel saw it, took advantage of it right there in that opportunity and made a hell of a play to ice the game," coach Shane Steichen said."
The Indianapolis Colts held a 14-point lead with 2:25 remaining, facing a third-and-10 situation. Daniel Jones stayed in the pocket against an approaching pass rush and targeted Alec Pierce on a stop route. Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste was close coverage, yet Jones delivered a perfectly placed pass that only Pierce could catch. The play was aggressive rather than conservative and served to secure the win. Coach Shane Steichen credited Jones for recognizing the one-on-one opportunity and praised the play as a high-quality, game-clinching decision that reflected trust in the quarterback.
