"INDIANAPOLIS -- Jonathan Taylor's rampage continued Sunday for the Indianapolis Colts. The league's leading rusher had another 153 yards in a 38-14 win over the Tennessee Titans, including an 80-yard touchdown run -- his longest in five seasons. Taylor reached the end zone three times (two runs, one catch) in an effort that prompted the frenzied fans at Lucas Oil Stadium and his teammates to back him becoming the NFL's Most Valuable Player."
""We're witnessing greatness right in front of us," defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said after the Colts improved to 7-1. "It's rare for guys to be playing at that high a level on a consistent basis." Taylor is rewriting the Colts' record books, a remarkable feat for a team that has four running backs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
"Taylor scored his 62nd and 63rd rushing touchdowns (on just 12 carries) in his 75th career game Sunday, tying Hall of Famer Lenny Moore for second on the team's career TD list. He trails another Hall of Famer, Edgerrin James, by just one. Only four running backs in NFL history have had more touchdowns in their first 75 career games: LaDainian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown and Adrian Peterson."
