Daniel Jones Poised to Challenge Vikings with Potential NFL Record
After the Minnesota Vikings opted not to re-sign quarterback Daniel Jones, the Indianapolis Colts seized the opportunity to acquire him. This decision initially seemed prudent given Jones’ disappointing finale with the New York Giants. However, as the current NFL season unfolds, the Vikings may find themselves regretting this choice, as Jones emerges as a leading MVP candidate with the Colts.
Daniel Jones’ Impressive 2025 Season
As of late October 2025, Daniel Jones is having a standout season in the NFL. He has achieved remarkable statistics, ranking fourth in passing yards with 2,062. Additionally, his completion percentage stands at 71.2%, also the fourth highest in the league. Jones is tied for second in QBR, showcasing his effectiveness at 79.2.

- Completion Percentage: 71.2%
- QBR: 79.2
Setting Records with the Colts
Daniel Jones is not only excelling personally but has also significantly contributed to the Colts’ overall success. Under coach Shane Steichen, the team’s offense has flourished. The Colts currently lead the NFL in total yards with 3,052. They rank sixth in passing yards per game at 250.9 and seventh in rushing yards at 134.4, with a total of 270 points scored this season, making them the top team.
Pivotal Matchup Ahead
This Sunday, Jones will face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have struggled defensively, ranking as the league’s worst pass defense. This matchup presents a tremendous opportunity for Jones to bolster his stats as he seeks a potential spot in the Pro Bowl.
Potential Historical Impact for the Vikings
There are whispers around the league regarding the Vikings and their former quarterbacks, Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks. If both players make it to the Pro Bowl and start in the playoffs in 2025, the Vikings will make NFL history for losing two quarterbacks in the same offseason who achieve such accolades the following year.
Jones’ transition to the Colts has been nothing short of phenomenal, and he appears entrenched on a path toward recognition as a Pro Bowl quarterback. With his continued efficiency and leadership, Jones could have a historic impact not only for himself but also as a reflection of the Vikings’ decision to part ways with him.
