Today's show: Recapping the Colts' blowout win over the JetsI almost turned this game off in the third quarter when the Colts were leading 42-10, but I'm glad I didn't because things got kind of crazy down the stretch. The only thing crazier than the second half of the game was the podcast we recorded afterward. If you mi sed the game, here's a quick rehash of what happened and what we talked about on the podcast. looks unstoppable.With on the sideline for
Isaiah Oliver Jersey the rest of the season, you could make an argument that Taylor is currently the best running back in the NFL. For the sixth straight week, Taylor put up some huge numbers: Not only did he rush for 172 yards and two touchdowns, but he also added 28 receiving yards for a total of 200 in the game. Taylor has now gone over 100 scrimmage yards in each of Indy's past six games, making him the first running back to do that since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006 (LT won the MVP that year). Taylor's longest run against the Jets was a 78-yard TD, which means he now has the two longest runs in the NFL this year (He also had an 83-yard run against the in Week 6). rebounds nicely.After throwing two ugly interceptions against the on Sunday, no one knew how Wentz would respond playing in a game just four days later, but it appears he didn't let the Tenne see overtime lo s bother him too much. The Colts quarterback went out and diced up the Jets' defense for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Wentz was especially good during a first half where the Colts scored a touchdown every time they touched the ball (The QB went 15 of 18 for 146 yards and two touchdowns during the game's first two quarters). The 45 points were the most the Colts have scored in a game since 2014 when they scored 49 against Washington. shines on painful night for the Jets. After engineering an upset of the , never really got a chance to try for an upset against the Colts and that's because he left the game in the first quarter with a forearm injury. Before leaving, White had already thrown for 95 yards, which put him on pace for another 400-yard game. After White left, Josh Johnson entered the game for the
Atlanta Falcons Polos Jets and actually played surprisingly well. The veteran journeyman threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets clawed back from a 42-10 deficit in the second half. The Jets almost tacked on another TD with just under a minute left to play, but Johnson got picked off on a pa s that was tipped inside the 10-yard line. If they had been able to score there, it would have cut the lead to 45-37 and the Jets would have had a chance to make things interesting with an onside kick not to mention tick off those gamblers who were laying 10 points with Indy. As for injuries, White isn't the only Jets player dealing with one. Safety is that could cause him to mi s the rest of the season.To listen/watch today's episode on YouTube, .
