Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has spoken about last week's fourth-quarter playing time controversy.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen explained why Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor didn’t have any fourth quarter snaps versus the Packers.

Sermon got the first snap of the quarter, a puzzling decision considering the Colts ran a speed option to the left side. Quarterback Anthony Richardson tried to make Packers safety Xavier McKinney commit, then pitched the ball to Sermon and McKinney was able to redirect and drop Sermon for a 4-yard loss.
