At just the right time.
On the first of three Jonathan Taylor touchdown runs against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7, Indianapolis Colts’ center Tanor Bortolini initially chipped a defensive lineman. That helped right guard Matt Goncalves easily remove the first defender in Taylor’s way.
Then, the Colts’ second-year center moved up field and plowed a linebacker out of the way, thus removing the second possible tackler. That’s all a back like Taylor needs.
