Jonathan Taylor became a videogame character on Sunday. Last year, he led the Indy Colts to an impressive home-opening victory, dominating at the time LA Chargers 38-24. The Colts’ running back absolutely lit up the Chargers’ defense to the tune of three rushing touchdowns and 94 yards on the ground. Taylor’s impressive game was the biggest reason for Indy to pull off the upset, but it showed how much of an impact he can have on a game.
Taylor’s explosive performance marked a new height in his career, demonstrating his ability to take charge in critical moments. In one particularly compelling display, he mesmerized fans by scoring three different touchdowns in the same game. Given his performance, he was clearly the Chargers’ most dangerous opponent. The Colts capitalized on Taylor’s skills, utilizing his speed and agility to penetrate the Chargers’ defense effectively.
Dominating the Chargers Defense
Even when the Chargers adjusted, Taylor repeatedly identified spaces in the Chargers’ defensive front. His combination of tackle-breaking strength and acceleration to burst past defenders made him a home run threat anytime he hit the second level. By the end of the game, he finished with 94 yards rushing. He punched in three touchdowns, adding to his burgeoning narrative of becoming the most important Colt out right now.
The performance is even more impressive considering that the NFL can be described as a hyper-competitive league. Taylor’s three touchdowns capped off a dazzling performance. They were particularly crucial in building and maintaining the Colts’ early lead, dominating both establishing a lead and maintaining game control. The Chargers didn’t have an answer to stop him, and that’s what cost them the game.
