Colts have offensive pieces to strike fear in opponents

INDIANAPOLIS -- On a first-and-10 from the Colts' own 25-yard line, quarterback Anthony Richardson took a shotgun snap and quickly tossed the ball to running back Jonathan Taylor on a routine play.

Very little about the moment in that Week 5 game from last season was memorable. Despite the two blockers ahead of Taylor on the sweep run to the left side, the Tennessee Titans' defense reacted appropriately and limited him to a 3-yard gain.

Still, there was important symbolism worth noting: It was the first play in which the Colts' star running back and promising rookie quarterback shared the backfield together, coming in Taylor's first game after his activation from the physically unable to perform list.
