iNdiaNaPoLiS – Jonathan Taylor ran with power, ran with burst, and even caught a few passes. He did it all – making life easier for his indianapolis Colts teammates against the New york Jets.

and he became a national star Thursday night in the process.

Taylor rushed for 172 yards and two scores, Carson Wentz threw three touchdown passes and the Colts pulled away for a badly needed 45-30 victory.

Taylor, who had a game-sealing 78-yard Td run, also had two catches for 28 yards. Nyheim

Hines ran for 74 yards and a score on six carries as sliced through the Jets’ defense for 260 yards on the ground.

“We had a one-play drive for 75 yards or something like that and that’s the best drive you can have,” Wentz said. “He and Nyheim, those guys played unbelievable. Those guys up front, they did a tremendous job.”

after suffering a stunning overtime loss against Tennessee on Sunday, the Colts spent their short week searching for answers.

Taylor provided most of them. His shifty, 21-yard Td run broke a 7-7 tie in the early in the second quarter. and with Jets quarterback mike White already out with an injured arm, the Colts (4-5) were off to the races in their first primetime home game since december 2017.

Taylor’s longest run of the night made it 42-10 midway through the third quarter and helped indy finish with the highest single-game rushing total in the NFL this season.

“it takes the pressure off the passing game when you run like that,” coach Frank reich. “but you could feel it early, you could feel us really dominating the line early.”

Nothing went right for the Jets, who have lost seven straight night games.
