🏈 Daniel Jones is playing at an MVP level for the Indianapolis Colts right now. Through eight games, he has completed 173 of 243 passes (71.2%) for 2,062 yards with 13 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a passer rating of 109.5.

🏈 Heinz History Center’s Andy Masich gave context of what could make Acrisure Stadium spooky.

Masich said it goes back to July 1755 and Braddock’s defeat in the French and Indian War.
