Tested almost instantly by an 0-2 start, the Indianapolis Colts found themselves in need of attributes such as patience and long-term focus; fortunately, they didn’t have to search far in finding a player whose style exemplified said traits. As intuitive as it gets among running backs, Jonathan Taylor — choosing wisely with seven Chicago Bears defenders stuffing the box on a zone run — showed the way, smoothly juking his way through closing elevator doors for a 29-yard scoring statement. Returning to his 2021 rushing champion form, Taylor was brilliant in Week 3’s 21-16 victory, turning 24 touches into 135 yards and two scores during a must-win encounter on Sept. 22, 2024.
