The Indianapolis Colts offense got a much-needed spark this week. Whether it was Jeff Saturday’s new approach or a simplified playbook, this team looked different in a good way en route to a 25-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

One of the byproducts of the changes in leadership is Jonathan Taylor’s production which was on display today in Las Vegas.

The young, stud running back returned to his 2021 form, finishing with 147 yards and a touchdown. The score came late in the third quarter when Taylor burst through the line and was off to the races for a 66-yard scamper into the endzone. Having JT back and healthy is a valuable weapon this team is lucky to have.

The Colts now stand at 4-5-1 following the 25-20 win in Las Vegas. The season is not over, and it’s a welcomed sight to see the players still fighting and competing.

Call it the “Jeff Saturday effect”, but this team could be heading in the right direction at the right time.
