"Great play by the defender, but this one will go down as the QB’s fault," another added. "Yeah bro is back to normal I fear," a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"Awesome interception !!! Here we go !!!" one wrote. "QB struggles hitting hard today… fans feel it," another added. "He’s returned to form," a user tweeted.

Jones signed for the Colts in the offseason, but has enjoyed a relatively bright start with the team after he struggled with the New York Giants.

Heading into the matchup against the Steelers, Jones had 2,062 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, three interceptions and four rushing touchdowns, leading Indy to a 7-1 record.

Barring a stunning fourth-quarter comeback, Jones and the Colts are likely to suffer their second defeat of the season.

Daniel Jones signed a reported one-year, $14 million contract with the Colts in the offseason. The deal included a $6 million signing bonus with $13.15 million in guaranteed money.

Jones battled with Anthony Richardson for the starting quarterback role.

Although Richardson was entering his third year with the franchise, Indy opted to go with Jones as its QB1, and it's worked well for the team so far.

The Colts will still be leading the AFC South if they lose against the Steelers.
