Jonathan Taylor delivered a huge performance in the Colts’ thrilling overtime victory over the Falcons. It’s no surprise that Taylor once again earned the title of Colts Player of the Game after an outstanding display on the field.
The sixth-year running back recorded a season-high 244 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 32 carries during Indianapolis’ 31-25 overtime win against Atlanta in Berlin, Germany. Taylor’s standout performance included an 83-yard touchdown run, the longest rushing play of the season, breaking Falcons running back Bijan Robinson’s previous mark of 81 yards.
In overtime, Taylor sealed the victory by scoring the game-winning touchdown. He finished the game by gaining 33 yards on five consecutive carries during the final drives. With an impressive average of 7.6 yards per carry, Taylor led the Colts in both rushing yards and scoring. Remarkably, he ran for just 11 yards fewer than quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for 255 yards.
Heading into the game, Taylor needed 105 rushing yards to surpass the 1,000-yard mark for the season. After his dominant outing, reaching a 2,000+ yard rushing season now seems well within reach. In total, he amassed 286 all-purpose yards, adding three receptions for 42 yards. Taylor was also one of three Colts players to record three or more receptions during the game.
Through the first 10 weeks of the season, Jonathan Taylor has tallied 15 rushing touchdowns and 1,139 rushing yards, underscoring his vital role in the Colts’ offense. His remarkable consistency and explosive plays continue to make him a force to be reckoned with on the field.
