The Colts, 5-1 for first time since 2009, stay focused despite early success, led by Daniel Jones, while Mayfield and Goff, former top picks, prepare for a key matchup despite injuries.

The Indianapolis Colts, off to a 5-1 start—their best since 2009—remain focused despite early success, led by quarterback Daniel Jones, who joins an elite group with multiple touchdown passes, rushing touchdowns, and a 100+ passer rating in three of six games. Jones credited a win over the Arizona Cardinals as a mental boost. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield, also with a 5-1 Buccaneers team, downplayed MVP talk, echoing the long-season mindset. Mayfield and Lions QB Jared Goff, who leads the NFL with 14 touchdown passes, share a bond as former No. 1 picks now thriving with new teams, setting up a high-stakes matchup in Detroit despite injuries.
