description

The box score may have labeled it as a five-yard touchdown, but for the Indianapolis Colts, the scenario could’ve been seen from miles away: Jonathan Taylor in the backfield with his just-as-dangerous quarterback, forcing defenses to pick their redzone poison. Given the handoff with blockers ahead and paydirt just a few steps further, the Pro Bowl running back maneuvered rhythmically in between lanes for a critical third quarter score. Taylor’s touchdown trimmed the Colts’ deficit to just 15-13, prompting one of Week 1’s most back-and-forth clashes. In a 29-27 loss on Sept. 8, 2024, Taylor contributed 16 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown.
