Taylor struggles in the passing game, but that's not a good enough reason to keep him off the field for the entire fourth quarter of a game.

Yes, the Colts were trailing the entire game, and that was part of the lack of touches, but it was never more than a two-score deficit. Down 10-0 coming out of halftime, running the ball–especially with the success Taylor was having–should still be a part of the offense at that time.

Jonathan Taylor, who did not play a single snap in the Colts' loss to the Packers last Sunday, defended his coach on Thursday, citing the need to use the team's other running backs, and his own shortcomings in passing situations.
