The Indianapolis Colts are entering Week 10 with a 4-5 record. Surprisingly, Indy’s defense has been underwhelming but the offense has been really good. Under Shane Steichen’s leadership, the Colts have one of the most productive offenses in the league. After nine weeks, Indy is the only team to score 20 or more points in every game this season.
The Colts have done that despite the ups and downs of the quarterback position. After losing rookie starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, Gardner Minshew filled in and has been uneven. However, the one consistent has been Indy’s backfield. Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss have been dominant on the ground.
Moss started things off while JT was on the PUP list, and since Taylor returned, the two have been a dangerous 1-2 punch. With both running backs playing well, Indy has one of the top rushing attacks in the league. Let’s take a look at where it stands exactly.
