The Colts need to get Jonathan Taylor many more carries

To many fans and analysts, Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL. At the very least, he’s top 3. He is the best player on the Colts offense. So the fact that he only got 13 touches in last week’s game against the Jaguars was embarrassing. He got a good chunk of touches in Week 1 against the Texans and averaged 5 yards per touch. Last week against the Jaguars, the lack of balance from the Colts offense allowed the Jaguars to play more in the secondary and by exploiting some mismatches on the offensive line, such as Josh Allen vs Matt Pryor, they were able to get to Matt Ryan with only 4 or 5 rushers.
