Colts RB Jonathan Taylor vs. Jets defensive line

The Jets’ biggest weakness on defense this season has been stopping the run, and now here comes Taylor to give them another challenge. Taylor may not be the same back he was a few years ago, but he is still having a strong season. He has 616 rushing yards and five touchdowns in seven games. He has gone over 100 yards in four games this season, including last week when he had 114 against the Bills.

The Jets are 25th in the NFL against the run and have given up at least 100 yards rushing in five straight games and in eight of their 10 games this season. In 2021, Taylor torched them for 172 rushing yards and two touchdowns, the most that any back has gained against the team under defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.
