With star back Jonathan Taylor out healing from ankle surgery, Zack Moss turned a potential Colts crisis into a surprising showcase of talent. By Week 10, Moss’s hard-charging style has culminated in over 600 rushing yards, good for second in the NFL, earning Moss recognition as the NFL’s most improved offensive player.
Having two high-caliber running backs is a rare NFL luxury, and the Colts are capitalizing on it. The return of a healthy Taylor doesn’t overshadow Moss’s contributions but instead points to a strategic advantage: Indianapolis can now moderate their backfield’s workload, ensuring longevity and flexibility.
Moss’s emergence is especially crucial in light of rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson’s season-ending injury.
