Colts' Taylor defends OC over 4th-quarter usage
Briefly

"You saw last year, there are things that are schemed up for other backs, too. I know that a lot of people are, [saying], 'Oh, what's going on?' But we've got two other backs that are in the league for a reason."
"Steichen attributed the move to the fact the Colts were in a heavy passing mode in the final quarter, the result of the two-score deficit they were facing against the Packers."
"Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was on a tear against the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, averaging more 8.6 yards per carry at Lambeau Field. Then, during the game's final 15 minutes and his team's last 21 offensive snaps, he never saw the field again."
"The Colts ran it twice in the quarter for net of zero yards. Among those runs was a curious decision on the first play of the fourth quarter, which arguably proved to be the Colts' most pivotal play of the game."
