Indianapolis Colts’ running back Jonathan Taylor has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Month of October, marking the first time he’s received this award.
Just last season, Taylor ranked third in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,169, and now he’s added another accolade to his already impressive resume.
Through the course of October, the Colts’ star back had 79 carries for 478 yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carry, and six touchdowns. Additionally, Taylor had 13 catches for 195 yards, which brings his total scrimmage yards to 673, and total touchdowns to seven.
What makes this feat even more impressive is the fact that Taylor has yet to have a game where he’s received 20 or more touches.
