Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has spoken about last week's fourth-quarter playing time controversy.
. It was not because Taylor was having a bad game, as he had rushed 12 times for 103 yards. Nor was Taylor injured during the game.

The Colts were not scheming up pass plays for the running backs, meaning pass protection was the premium assignment. Taylor has struggled in pass protection throughout his career and knows he needs to keep working on this area of his game.
Taylor is also quite familiar with the Bears' defensive scheme, as head coach Matt Eberflus spent four years in Indy as the defensive coordinator. Going up against Eberflus' defense every day in practice for two seasons is an advantage for Taylor. While Eberflus will undoubtedly add some wrinkles, Taylor feels confident in how he can attack the defense.
