The Colts entered Sunday’s game with the highest scoring offense in the NFL at 32.3 points per game, and they were even more potent against the Chargers. Indianapolis scored over 30 points for the fifth time in their first seven games of the season, highlighted by another three-touchdown performance from running back Jonathan Taylor. Through the first five years of his career, Taylor only had two games with at least three total touchdowns. This year, he has three games with at least three total TDs in seven weeks. Taylor finished with 16 carries for 94 yards versus L.A.
Daniel Jones also continued his stellar play this season. The Colts QB was 23-of-34 passing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. The last time Jones played at SoFi Stadium, when the Rams handed the Colts their only loss of the season, he threw two interceptions. But on Sunday, Jones was mistake free again. The veteran passer has only committed three turnovers this season while scoring 14 total TDs. Facing third-and-10 from Indy’s 44-yard line, Jones delivered the dagger on the Colts’ final drive with a 13-yard pass to wide receiver Alec Pierce that allowed them to kneel out the clock. Pierce totaled five catches for a team-high 98 yards.
