KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eight plays.

That’s all it took. Eight plays into Sunday’s upset win over the Chiefs, Shakial Taylor saw his mentor, Kenny Moore stay down after making a tackle.

A week earlier, Taylor had been out of work. Six days before the game, the Colts had signed him back to the practice squad. Two days before the game, the coaching staff told Taylor he was traveling to Kansas City, that he'd better be ready.
