Rookie running back Johnathan Taylor sped away from the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense for a 62-yard touchdown run Sunday and likely took away the team’s playoff hopes in the process.
Taylor rushed for a career-high 150 yards and two second-half touchdowns as the Indianapolis Colts routed the Raiders 44-27 in a game dripping with playoff implications.
“I did feel good,” Taylor said. “One of the things coming into this league, having the mindset, you hear it a lot, it’s tough. It’s hard to get yards in this league. So getting a bit of fresh air was definitely fulfilling.
