INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have a pretty good idea what Bill Belichick’s Patriots defense is going to try to do to them on Saturday night.
What every defense the rest of the way is likely to try to do.
Take away Jonathan Taylor.
Or at least slow him down.
Taking Taylor away completely is likely no longer an option. The Colts’ budding superstar has rushed for at least 50 yards in every game this season, and he’s picked up at least 70 rushing yards in eight consecutive games.

But opposing defensive coordinators know Taylor is the engine that makes this Colts offense go, and they’re going to keep throwing everything they’ve got at the line of scrimmage in an effort to slow him down.
