Colts QB Daniel Jones Bloody Mouth During Colts-Falcon Game Becomes Meme About Determination

On November 9, the Indianapolis Colts played against the Atlanta Falcons, when quarterback Daniel Jones had blood pouring from his mouth during the game.

The Colts played in Germany on Sunday morning, but they gave everything on the field.

This was the case for Jones, whose face the TV cameras captured in a close-up, with his mouth full of blood.

Jones’ injury left fans with serious concern, but that quickly dissolved into high praise after leading the Colts to a victory.

The Colts won 31-25, leaving them with an 8-2 record, having won eight games and lost two.

A fan posted on Twitter saying, “That clutch tie-up shows real grit – playing through a bloody lip like that. Solid effort!”

During the post-game press conference, there was no visible injury to his face.

Jones finished the game with 19 completions out of 26 attempts and gained 255 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked seven times with three fumbles.

In the days since the game, the image has been turned into a meme representing the determination of an athlete against the odds.

The next game for the Colts will be on November 23 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
