"As the Indianapolis Colts fought their way through a tight game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, they threw their game plan out the window once the game reached overtime. In the NFL's first game played in Berlin, the Colts took possession with 7:29 left in the extra period, and they did what everyone in the stadium knew they'd do: They gave the ball to Jonathan Taylor."
"The league's leading rusher had taken over the game late in regulation, scoring on an 83-yard run in the fourth quarter, and his dominance then spilled over into overtime. The Colts ran seven offensive plays in overtime. Six of them were Taylor runs. Taylor ended the affair with a walk-off touchdown with 3:36 remaining, finishing off a 244-yard, three-touchdown performance and adding fuel to the idea that he is a leading candidate for Most Valuable Player."
The Colts leaned on Jonathan Taylor throughout overtime, running seven plays with six Taylor rushes that culminated in a walk-off touchdown with 3:36 remaining. Taylor compiled 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including an 83-yard score in the fourth quarter, and dominated late in the game. His performance elevated his standing among MVP contenders. Other notable MVP candidates include Matthew Stafford, Drake Maye, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. Betting odds currently favor Stafford and Maye over Taylor. The Colts will meet the Chiefs in a pivotal AFC matchup following this result.
