Colts gift Dolphins a massive Week 1 advantage with QB announcement

The Miami Dolphins will open their 2025 season with a significant advantage, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts.

On Tuesday, the Colts announced that Daniel Jones would be their Week 1 starter and not Anthony Richardson. While neither quarterback is a top NFL QB at this point in their career, the threat of Richardson being able to take off with his legs opens up the entire offense.

Jones struggled with the Giants, and now he will open the season against what could be one of the NFL's top pass-rushing defenses.

Jones has struggled with handling pressure, and the Dolphins' front seven, which now includes Matt Judon, will be tough to keep out of the backfield.
