Adam Schefter inadvertently makes a clear case for Jonathan Taylor as NFL MVP

Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL this season, and it's not even close. He's leading in all the major stats: rushing touchdowns, rushing yards, and yards per game. He already has four games this season with three touchdowns. On Sunday, against the Tennessee Titans, he had his latest performance with two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown. Now, Adam Schefter is sharing stats that make a case for him to be the NFL MVP.

Jonathan Taylor is now the fifth player since 2000 with at least three scrimmage touchdowns in four games in a season, joining LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006, Marshall Faulk in 2000, Shaun Alexander in 2005 and Priest Holmes in 2002 and 2003.
