Against the Colts, stopping Jonathan Taylor will be the Chiefs’ primary focus

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs‘ defense will have a big challenge: trying to slow down the Indianapolis Colts offense — and specifically, running back Jonathan Taylor.

The third-year back headlines an Indianapolis running game that in 2021, led the NFL with 1,811 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns behind one of the league’s best offensive lines.

It’s no secret that the key to stopping the Colts’ offense is to stop their vaunted rushing attack. Taylor carried the momentum from last season into 2022, rushing for 215 yards in just the first two weeks of the new season.
