The Indianapolis Colts unleashed their running back beast Jonathan Taylor Thursday during their week 9 clash against the New York Jets. His runs were so efficacious that he even surpassed the Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry for the longest touchdown run of the season.

Henry’s record for the longest touchdown run of the season of 76 yards was broken by Taylor’s phenomenal 78 yards touchdown run against the Jets. Taylor gave the Jets a nightmare with his record-breaking run by increasing the enormous lead of the Colts to 41-10.

Can Indianapolis Colts dominate the division?

As the Colts seal a 4-5 run so far this season, they currently secure the second place at the AFC South division just a place below the 6-2 Titans. Although with Titans losing their star RB, Derrick Henry for about eight weeks to a foot injury, their four-game winning streak seems to be threatened by the Rams and the Saints as their next two fixtures.
