Overview

  • The Colts star ran for 244 yards with three rushing touchdowns in Berlin, added 42 receiving yards, and set franchise and international-game records including 286 scrimmage yards, an 83-yard score, and the overtime winner in a 31-25 defeat of the Falcons.
  • The NFL named him AFC Offensive Player of the Week and PFF made him Offensive Player of the Week, with tracking data crediting him with over 200 yards after contact and double-digit missed tackles forced.
  • He leads the league with 1,139 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns at 6.0 yards per carry and has logged five games with three total touchdowns, including a league-first four games with three-plus rushing TDs in the season’s first 10 weeks.
  • Indianapolis enters the bye at 8-2 with the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, a 2.5-game AFC South lead, and Daniel Jones pacing the league in passing yards at 2,659.
  • Public backing for Taylor’s MVP case has grown from players and analysts, and projections suggest a near-1,900-yard finish with a chance to pressure single-season touchdown marks if his pace holds.
