It was his way of making up for the earlier mistake that had cost the Colts a touchdown in a tough loss to the Broncos.</p><p>“You get excited, sometimes maybe a little too excited, when you see that (open field),” remarked Jonathan Taylor <a href="https://www.twitter.com/RomeovilleKid/status/1870960013151436934" rel="noopener">drawing some held back laughter</a> and giggles . “Then you just start analyzing, where are the defenders?

He broke free for a 70-yard score on the first play of the second half, once again holding the ball securely as he reached the end zone. He capped off the Colts win with a 1-yard touchdown plunge.</p><p>The 25-year-old required 29 carries to record the second-highest single-game rushing total in the NFL this season. It also ranked as the second-best rushing performance of his career, marking his most touchdown runs in a game since he scored four against Buffalo in 2021.</p><p>Additionally, the performance pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since he claimed the 2021 NFL rushing title.</p><p>Anthony Richardson added nine carries for 70 yards and a touchdown as Indianapolis (7-8) set a franchise record with 335 rushing yards, surpassing the previous record of 318 set in 1956. Richardson’s sixth touchdown run of the season broke the franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. Remarkably, this achievement came on a day when he attempted only 11 passes.</p><h2><b>The Tennessee Titans’ struggle continues</b></h2><p>For <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-brian-callahan-soft-accusations-allowing-335-rushing-yards">the Titans (3-12), it was another grim chapter</a> in a disappointing season. Their fourth consecutive loss came with three more turnovers and significant lapses in what had been a solid defense. In two of their last four games, opponents have rushed for over 200 yards, and Sunday’s total marked the highest rushing yards allowed by the franchise since its move from Houston to Nashville in the late 1990s.</p><p>The switch from Will Levis to Mason Rudolph also failed to spark a turnaround. Rudolph completed 23 of 34 passes for 252 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. He led the Titans on a 23-point run to cut the deficit to 38-30. However, the game was sealed when Kenny Moore II intercepted Rudolph for the second time as the clock expired.</p><p>Next Sunday, the Colts will travel to face the New York Giants, while the Titans will conclude their road trip with a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The win <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/afc-playoff-picture-after-steelers-texans-clinch-their-spots-in-week-15">keeps the Colts alive in the playoff bubble</a> with a record of 7-8.

The veteran running back had a monster game, rushing 29 times for 218 yards and three touchdowns. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-news-jonathan-taylor-sounds-off-shocking-fumble-gaffe-broncos">Taylor certainly made up for last week’s gaffe</a> that cost Indy a touchdown.</p><p>The running game was really working for the Colts. Anthony Richardson added on 9 rushes for 70 yards and a touchdown for good measure.</p><p>In fact, the Colts only attempted 11 passes the entire game.

They are of a handful of teams still in the hunt and vying for one of two remaining wild card spots in the AFC.</p><p>The two teams that the Colts are chasing are the Broncos and Chargers, with both teams having a record of 9-6. There are a few ways that the Colts can catch the Broncos or Chargers.</p><p>Let’s start here: Indianapolis <i>needs</i> to win out to have a shot at the playoffs. If they lose against the Giants next week, or the Jaguars the week after, then they will be eliminated from playoff contention.</p><p>One scenario involves the Chargers losing out. If that happens, and the Colts win out, they will both have the same record. However, the Colts will win that tiebreaker with a better conference record.</p><p>The other scenario is a little more complicated. If the Broncos lose to the Bengals and Chiefs, and the Colts win out, the Colts have a chance to make the playoffs. However, they’ll need some help. They would also need either Cincinnati or Miami to win out, or the Chargers to lose out.</p><p>This scenario is more complicated because Indianapolis would lose a head-to-head tiebreaker with Denver.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/schedule/upcoming">Colts is a Week 17 matchup against the Giants</a>. This will feel like one of the most important games of the year with a postseason berth on the line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

My role right now is simply I have to go out there and perform on Sundays so that I can help these guys win games and keep these guys going,” Nix said per Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. “That’s my job as a quarterback right now. You have to honestly take the rookie out of it — it doesn’t matter. They’re looking at you like a starting quarterback in the league, so I just have to treat it that way.”</p><p>Nix understands that he has to prove himself on the field before veteran players will view him as a leader.</p><p>“Right now being young, I can’t talk a whole lot. There’s not much I can say,” Nix continued. “I haven’t really proven anything, so I just have to go out there and work. They want to see teh work, and they want to see how hard I’m preparing and what I’m doing off the field. Do I show up the same every day? I think when they see that, they have a form of respect and trust.”</p><p>Broncos fans have to feel optimistic about the future with Payton and Nix leading the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Colts would go on to be outscored 24-0 in the 2nd half on their way to a crushing 31-13 defeat that all but ends their hopes of making a return to the postseason.</p><p>After the game, Taylor spoke candidly about the mistake that he claimed, “should never happen.”</p><p>“It just can’t happen, no matter the game, no matter the scenario,” Taylor told reporters, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. “You could be up by 50, down by 50, playoff game, first game of the season. That should never happen.”</p><p>Amazingly, this seems to happen far too often. One of the most famous examples occurred in 2008, when Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3598553" rel="noopener">dropped the ball at the 1-yard-line</a> in a 41-37 Monday Night Football loss to the Dallas Cowboys. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-malachi-corley-ruthlessly-clowned-massive-tnf-blunder-texans">Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley cost his team six points</a> earlier this season, and just hours before Taylor’s gaffe, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-jordan-battle-fumbles-easy-td-goal-line-recovering-fumble">Bengals defensive back Jordan Battle made the very same mistake</a> against the Titans.</p><p>“Sometimes, someone gives you their best and your best just wasn’t good enough,” Taylor said. “But when you hurt yourself like that, that one hurts.”</p><p>All things considered, Taylor did give the Colts one heck of an effort on Sunday afternoon. The fifth-year back rushed for 107 yards on 22 carries, his fifth 100 yard game of the season and the 21st of his career. Taylor surpassed Lydell Mitchell to move into 2nd-place on the Indianapolis Colts’ all-time rushing yardage list.</p><p>Though the Colts aren’t mathematically eliminated from Playoff contention, they need to win out and get a lot of help in order to make a return to the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At 6-8, Indianapolis has fallen further out of the AFC playoff picture, now trailing the Broncos, Chargers, and other competitors. A win against Denver would have kept them in striking distance for the final wild-card spot, but the loss instead solidifies their position on the outside looking in.</p><p>Head coach Shane Steichen also took a moment to address the team’s overall performance, acknowledging the series of mistakes that plagued them. “Sometimes, someone gives you their best and your best just wasn’t good enough,” Steichen said. “But when you hurt yourself like that, that one hurts.”</p><p>As for Taylor, he expressed regret and vowed to learn from the misstep. “That should never happen,” he said. “I apologized to my teammates, and it won’t happen again.” The Colts’ playoff hopes now hang by a thread as they face a manageable schedule of the Titans, Giants, and Jaguars to close out the season. However, the team must eliminate costly errors and regain their focus if they hope to finish the season on a high note.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
