"Warren exploded through a hole and threw his shoulder into Tennessee Titans linebacker Cody Barton, taking him out of the play. Taylor followed behind him, juking safety Quandre Diggs in the open field, spinning away from safety Amani Hooker and slipping out of the grasp of linebacker Kyzir White. Some 46 yards later, Taylor was in the end zone doing his trademark celebration, a dance borrowed from rapper Lil Yachty."
"The play was one snapshot from the Colts' 41-20 win on Sunday, but it helps contextualize the performance of one of the NFL's most dangerous offenses in 2025. The same team that is throwing the ball with elite production and efficiency -- quarterback Daniel Jones leads the NFL in yards per attempt (9.3) -- is also the same team for whom Taylor is running wild. He leads the NFL in rushing yards through three games with 338 after a second-straight 100-yard performance."
Jonathan Taylor broke a 46-yard touchdown run after rookie tight end Tyler Warren lead-blocked as a fullback in an offset I-formation. Warren threw his shoulder into Titans linebacker Cody Barton, creating the hole that allowed Taylor to juke and spin past multiple defenders. Taylor celebrated with a dance borrowed from rapper Lil Yachty. Coach Shane Steichen labeled the play an old-school 'iso' and called it 'old-school, smash-mouth football.' The Colts combined a powerful rushing attack with elite passing efficiency. Quarterback Daniel Jones led the NFL in yards per attempt (9.3). Taylor led the NFL in rushing through three games with 338 yards, including consecutive 100-yard efforts.
